Exciting news! We have a new calendar here on the site, and it’s soooooo much better than the old one! We (and especially Heather!) worked very hard to maintain the most up to date listings of free and low-cost family events, consignment sales and more. Now it will be easier to be included and as always, will be free.

Here is the link to the calendar: Calendar

If you scroll down, you’ll see a button that says “Add Event.” That’s how easy it is–just add your event and it will instantly be published on the calendar.

A few notes:

When readers see the calendar, it has a Pinterest feel and look to it, so include a picture for best results.

I will get email notifications of events posted, any inappropriate content will be removed.

What we are looking for:

The event or giveaway must be family friendly and open to anyone. In the past, we only listed free family activities but are no longer holding to that rule. However, please keep price in mind, and make sure your event fits with the general feel and theme of this site–which is frugal living.

Events should occur in the Philadelphia region, or be available everywhere. For example, if you want to post a webinar that could be accessed from anywhere that would be fine. Hyper-local and local events that are not local to Philadelphia will be deleted.

Giveaways

Bloggers, you are welcome to enter your giveaways on the calendar, but please follow these instructions. Enter your giveaway on the LAST day of the giveaway. So if you are running a giveaway, and the last day to enter it is January 2, please put it on that date on the calendar. Please format it like this: Giveaway-(name of prize) and that’s it. The end date won’t be necessary, because it will “fall off” the calendar once that date has passed. All prizes must be family friendly. The Philadelphia area requirement does not apply for giveaways.

No link backs required, but if you want to do one, or a share, tweet or comment–it’s always appreciated!
