EVENT FACILITIES: you must select event facilities category. IN ADDITION you need to tag yourself as one (or more) of these four options to show up in that specific feed:
- Wedding
- Less than 40 people
- Less than 100 people

Otherwise: Tags are *Optional* Please use existing tags, these are just fun little add on words that are available to describe your business. It will not alter where you are displayed on the website.
If you are a Chamber Member add the tag “Chamber” to ensure you show up on member directory for Chamber Members.
7. Continued view of the form, after entering your address, click the button to set the address on the map.
8. Continuation of the form: Here is where you enter your business hours. You can add hour slots to the same day if you close for lunch, for example. The next fields are your phone, website, email and your social media accounts. If you don’t have a social media account to the ones shown, just leave the field blank.
9. For the final pieces of the form, provide photos of your business listing. Ideally providing at least 5 photos provides a better idea of your business for the customer. Also providing images that are larger in size. At least 1000 x 1000 is the dimension sizes you should try for when providing images, small or low quality images are not going to look as nice.
When complete click submit listing!
