PREBLE COUNTY — The Preble County Convention & Visitors Bureau is excited to share an innovative tool which could bring more people to area events – Yodel Community Connections.
“We have proudly partnered with Yodel Community Connections to bring an all-encompassing community calendar to Preble County,” Preble County Convention & Visitors Bureau President Stephanie Garrett said in a recent press release.
Yodel is a community calendar which works with personal calendars. It populates the users selected events, plus sends notifications of any last-minute changes. With a few simple clicks, favorite events can be selected and then automatically placed on people’s calendars. And Yodel works with all online calendars.
Yodel is being sponsored by the Preble County Convention & Visitors Bureau to help community members and travelers easily find local events. This technology will allow a personalized selection of sports, entertainment, special events and more.
The best part is that is free.
“This calendar will be a one-stop shop for community members and visitors to find events happening throughout our county, representing the schools, nonprofits, businesses, youth sports leagues, restaurants, museums, churches, and more. Plus, businesses can utilize sharing features and statistics to grow their business,” the CVB noted in the press release.
Yodel makes this simple for not only event seekers, but also event organizers as well. Their technology is designed to pull published events over to the Preble County community calendar. There are just a few steps to get started, but it’s quick and easy.
Organization leaders and community members are invited to join Yodel and the Preble County CVB for one of several upcoming information sessions. There are five in-person and four virtual sessions to choose from. Those interested in attending can sign up for the date and time that works best for them. Virtual sessions will be held on Monday, May 8, at 1 p.m.; Tuesday, May 9, at 11 a.m. and 5:30 p.m., and Friday, May 12, at 9 a.m.
The in-person sessions will be held on Thursday, May 11, at 10 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m., 4:30 p.m. and 6 p.m., at the Eaton Youth Center, 307 Seven Mile Drive, Eaton.
