One of the questions we hear most is a request to add an event to our calendar. But you don’t need to wait for us—you can do it yourself in seconds.
Here’s how:
- Make sure you’re signed in under your Patch account.
- Go to Cartersville Patch's Events calendar and click on "Add an event."
- Fill out the fields, including the title, date, times, description and address. (Patch tip: Fill in the address form with the complete street address. If the system won’t recognize your location, be sure to use the full street, town, state and ZIP code.)
- Check off the appropriate categories (sports, arts, garage sale, etc.) and fill out any extra info, such as a website site or contact phone number.
- Click "Save" and presto, your event is posted. It will go out in our daily newsletter.
Whether you’re part of a community group, nonprofit, business, school, city or county department, or theater group, we want to know about your upcoming events. And, more importantly, so do your neighbors.
