Introducing "Events in the Sloop" Calendar

If you're a perceptive reader you've probably noticed that a small calendar has appeared on the right side of Sloopin underneath the "recent comments" section.


We're calling this "Events in the Sloop" and the goal is to be a resource so you know of events going on in the South Loop. We will be populating this calendar with events that we know of, but please send us events that you know of that might not be on our radar.

As you can see, there are fireworks tonight and the Printers Row lit fest is this weekend as well.


If it's a free or non-profit event we will gladly post the event. If it's a for-profit business that's having an event we will be charging a small fee per listing (most likely $5). Also we're in the process of starting a restaurant specials calendar that will look similar to the calendar that's currently live. Again, we're going to charge a small fee for this. If you're a restaurant owner or know someone who is, please let them know about this new function we're offering.


Hopefully you find this of value! If not let us know. If you have ideas for improvement let us know.


And finally, just wanted to take a second to thank all of our readers and contributors. Sloopin wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for you peeps! So thanks!
