I received a bunch of emails last week in response to my request for feedback regarding the format of the weekly event newsletter. I truly appreciate the input from each one of you!

Many of you said you prefer to see the events grouped by category, but some of you mentioned you only look for events on certain days (such as when you have days off or extra free time), so you’d rather see them grouped by date.

I’ve done my best to come up with a blend of both styles. I’m continuing to separate events by category. However, I’ve also added a calendar emoji next to each date to make it easier to quickly locate events happening on specific days of the week.

In addition, upcoming special events for the whole area are again listed at the top, but in today’s newsletter, the remaining events are separated by region. The goal is to make it easier for you to navigate based on the town/city you live in or want to travel to.

I hope you’ll find these changes helpful, but if not, let me know. I’m always looking to make continued improvements.

Lastly, I’m requesting feedback from readers once again. Next week, I’ll be publishing a special Fourth of July edition of the event newsletter, featuring a list of fireworks and other Independence Day-related celebrations.

I’d like to know: Do you have any viewing tips (or suggestions for alternative viewing locations) for our local fireworks celebrations? If so, please send me your tips by hitting “reply” to this email so I can include the information next week.

Now to the events.
