Event test #2
This is just a test to see how the event page works and goes together! It will be made better as time goes on, events come in, and we learn the best ways to post events.
Test Event - don’t come
This is a test event. It will be held at such-and-such place. If you come, you will be terribly disappointed because this is just a test, and we don’t actually have anything going on. Love you. Bye.
