Community Calendar

Community Calendar was a vital community information program that connected Detroit Lakes area residents with local events, organizations, and opportunities throughout 2019. Hosted by JT and featuring various community leaders and organization representatives, the show served as a central hub for promoting upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, and community engagement initiatives. From seasonal celebrations and fundraising events to cultural activities and educational programs, Community Calendar showcased the rich tapestry of community life in the greater Detroit Lakes area. Each episode featured interviews with event organizers, detailed information about upcoming activities, and ways for residents to get involved in their community. The show played an important role in strengthening community connections and ensuring residents stayed informed about the many opportunities to participate in local civic, cultural, and social activities throughout the year.
