10) Stew Magazine - community events calendar
As the Editor and Publisher of The Stew Magazine I
would love to advertise any of your community events in the events section of
our paper. We are a monthly Arts, Entertainment, and Leisure magazine and try
to cover as much as we can about what it happening in the Cariboo. I know it
can be hard to get information out there and we would love to be able to help.
The deadline for submissions is the 21st of the month for anything going
into the next months issue. Our goal is to try to get people out into the
community and enjoying new things to do and see. So if you have anything
please feel free to send it on to me.
Have a great day,
Christa Smith
