How to Suggest an Event:

Events listings can be suggested by anyone. All events related to families, children and organizations are welcome. To post information related to an event, click on "Suggest an Event" and fill in the boxes. The process is laid out step-by-step. Remember to be creative when entering the headline; it is the thing that grabs people's attention and makes them want to look for more information about your event.

  1. To begin you must first give the event a name - fill in "What is the Event".
  2. Choose "Who is this event" from the pull-down menu - parents and families, or organizations.
  3. Fill in the "Teaser Blurb". Make this as interesting as possible - it is what catches people's attention.
  4. Give a full description of the event. Type or paste the description in the text box below the teaser blurb.
  5. Where is the event? This is required information.
  6. When is the event? If it is an event happening on 1 day only just fill in the start date and ignore the end date.
  7. Contact information is required. We may need some information about the event you are suggesting. This information is not displayed and will not be shared.
  8. Once the information has been completed click the "Submit Event" button

Here are tips to make things easier - you can cut and paste! A description of your event can be prepared in advance using a regular word processing program like WordPerfect or Word. This allows you to check the spelling and grammar before adding it to the site.

To add the text describing your event you will need to open the document while on the site. Highlight the text you want to copy and copy it using the edit drop down menu. Paste the text into the space provided under "Type or paste a detailed description of the event here" using the edit drop down menu.

NOTE: You can copy text from web sites and e-mails using this method - saving lots of typing time.

Once an event has been suggested it will be reviewed as soon as possible. up2us reserves the right to refuse entries. Submitting an event implies that you have agreed to our Terms of Use.
