Greetings!
We had over 80 participants in our ARTS. OPEN DAILY SCVNGR Hunt on Saturday. Special thanks to Entercom Media for bringing the music and all their support. We are planning another one for October so stay tuned!
I am pleased to announce the launch of our online calendar Sacramento365.com's new feature, "Make It A Night." Now available on every event listing on the site, this feature helps enhance your evening by frequenting "Eats," "Drinks," and "Sleeps" (restaurants, bars, and hotels) nearby the event of your choice.
By clicking the "Make It A Night" button or tab on any event listing, you will be taken to a marked Google Map which will point out restaurants, bars, and hotels nearby the event through the use of coordinating icons. The map feature hones in on the area around the event and includes all pertinent information for the nearby places (image, links, contact info, even video and reservation capabilities where applicable).
I encourage you to give it a try & make your next event experience a night!
Warm regards,
Rhyena Halpern, Executive Director
Sacramento Metropolitan Arts Commission
