We have another first for Times Square today: The Roanoke Times company events calendar.

Perhaps it’s just a symptom of my obsession with planning and Google calendars, but I’ll be regularly sharing all of the noteworthy dates you should know about.

Examples include our Paparazzi schedule; radio appearances and coffeeshop hours by our journalists; Roanoke Times-sponsored events; and important contest deadlines.

>> This week, our Paparazzi red carpet will visit Tons of Fun, which is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at Tanglewood Mall. Besides the free indoor games, storytelling and more for children ages 12 and younger, the Roanoke Camp Fair will be held in conjunction with the event for the first time this year. Details here.

>> Also of note: Our “A Chorus Line” ticket giveaway ends Friday, and the deadline for entries in our “My Valentine” photo essay contest is Saturday.

I hope our calendar helps you keep up with all that we have to offer. If you have any suggestions or questions, leave a comment below or email stephanie.ogilvie@roanoke.com.
