Start something

Pick your thing

An event — one date, one crowd. A festival, market, tournament, fundraiser, block party.

A league — a season of games. Softball, basketball, cornhole, bowling — gather teams, play weekly.

A club or meetup — people gathering around a shared interest, on repeat. Cards, books, walking, crafts.

Free event ideas worth stealing

People are already asking for these around town. Steal one, make it yours, list it on the site:

• Dominoes night — bring a set, grab a table. Library meeting room or a park pavilion. All ages, zero cost.
• Mah-jongg meetup — library patrons are already asking for it. One regular table, same time every week.
• Community game night — cards, board games, everyone brings one. A church hall or the library works.
• Group walk — pick a route, same time every week, all paces welcome. Reagan Park is a natural start.
• Book swap — bring a book, take a book. Library lawn or a park pavilion, one Saturday morning.
• Park cleanup + cookout — leave a park better than you found it, then eat together. Bags provided, grills optional.
• Outdoor movie night — a projector and a park after dark. Check with Parks & Rec first — then invite the town.
• Craft circle — everyone brings a project: quilting, whittling, knitting. Library meeting room, weekly.
• Potluck picnic — a park pavilion, everyone brings a dish. The oldest free event there is.
