Isn't it such a bummer when you find out too late about an event? Or, you didn't even know the event happened until much later? For instance, did you know the San Benito Olive Festival was last October or that the Hollister Airshow will be on June 14 and 15, 2014?
Without a daily local newspaper to tell us about upcoming events, we're on our own to find out. Difficult? Not really, once we have an idea where to look.
Did you know that our weekly newspaper—the Hollister Free Lance—has an online calendar? You can check it out anytime. No subscription is needed. Here's the link.
An even better online source for local happenings, as well as breaking news, is BenitoLink. It reminds me of what the Free Lance used to be when it was a daily paper once upon a time. Here's the BenitoLink site.
Facebook is another good source to learn about events. For example, at the Take 25 to Hollister Facebook page, I post links to upcoming events as I happen to come across them. Here's that link.
A few other Facebook pages where people and organizations share their events are:
- What's Going On in Hollister CA
- Hollister Happenings
- Hollister 411
- Fundraising Events in San Benito
- Events Happenings in San Benito, Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties
What sources do you use to find out about upcoming events in our area?
