Your event may have been entered past the deadline for the print calendar. It’s also possible that someone else had already entered the same event. Administrators also have the right to reject any events containing objectionable material, events promoting a commercial interest or events we determine to not fit calendar criteria. Calendar administrators have sole discretion to determine which events are listed in both print and online.

Why do I receive an error message when searching for an archived article?
If you have received an error while accessing an archived article, more than likely there is a problem with the web address of that archived article. There is a portion of that web address that needs to be removed in order to access that particular article without error.
Within the web address of the archived article you have selected, the text (and portion of the web address) that needs to be deleted appears after "ref=" within the web address.
After "ref=" please delete: "/madison.com/html/archive_files"
For example, this article web address (below) returns an error:
http://www.madison.com/archives/read.php?ref=/madison.com/html/archive_files/wsj/1991/07/10/9107050285.php
However, when "/madison.com/html/archive_files" is removed, the article is retrieved without error.
