Again, these posts are very work in progress as I continue to find methods organizing posts and providing relevant information.

If I can make a request for input, do you guys prefer the tables I am making for these posts would you prefer a bulleted list of events?

Be sure to like and comment your feedback for the week!

Addendum: Thank you to MenstrualCyclone, waldowhal, and burgerflipper67 for mentioning additional events!

The first one of these posts was going to be scuffed, so we might as well get it out of the way!

This was thrown together, but I wanted to post this as some of these events I felt bad not recognizing immediately.
Tell me what I missed, and I will add it when I can and to future posts possibly.
Feedback tells me how to best reach the community, so please tell me how I did as this is the first of hopefully more!

This is it!
I made an account to learn and share what is going on in Joplin!*

I’ll be setting up social media and a newsletter when I can, so regularly check this page and future linked pages.

In the meantime, DM or comment anything coming up in Joplin. I plan to release these every Monday.

(Note: this is not a news source; this is purely for stimulating community involvement.)

*This is primarily for the city of Joplin, but the nearby city events will be featured when notable and noted as outside.
