We've got quite a few new Clarksvillians, so I have to ask...

The first responses when I asked this were a unanimous, "YES". However, the data shows that practically no one ever clicks on the event links to get more info. Which, doesn't mean no one is finding them useful, but... it does mean something.

These events are out there to be found but scattered all over. It's a mess. It's tedious and time-consuming BUT far as I know this is the only source for a comprehensive daily rundown. So...

If you say it's helpful, I'll believe you.

If it's useless or redundant, please let me know.

If it's not THE SOURCE you depend on for events, I want to use my time to help in other ways.
