I read a wonderful article on The Simple Dollar a few days ago about 10 great web sites to find free/low cost entertainment for the summer. I looked at the web sites and decided that some were worthy of exploring.
“Community Calendars http://www.google.com/search?q=community+calendar
Just add your city and state to the above Google query to find the community calendar for your own town. Community calendars are loaded with interesting and enjoyable free events, from community dinners to farmer’s markets in your local area. It’s also worth searching for the community calendars of cities and towns adjacent to where you life.”
I used my librarian skills to refine the search and came up with several searches that brought me wonderful information on Cecil area calendars as well as PA, DE and Harford County. So you don’t have to search all those areas, here are my results:
http://www.elktonmd.net/ This is a web site where you can post things on the calendar and has free classifieds.
http://www.cecilwhig.com/calendar Cecil Whig’s online calendar, which differs from the newspaper calendar.
http://cecilobserver.wordpress.com/community-calendar/ A blog by someone in Chesapeake City that includes a calendar.
http://www.americantowns.com/de/middletown/events This is an events calendar for Middletown, DE. Not much on it but it does have things.
http://www.thekentcountynews.com/calendar/ Kent County News community calendar.
http://www.hdgtourism.com/calendar.php#8 Havre de Grace’s tourism board calendar.
http://www.ourquarryville.com/index.php?pageId=calendar For Quarryville, PA.
http://newark.de.us/downtown/Events.htm Newark, DE (Newark night is June 6th!)
If you want to search other areas just use the google link above and add in the town. If you need to add in the state too (like for Newark) put it in quotes like this: “Newark, de” than you will get a more exact search.
