PlayHays.com - Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is PlayHays.com?
PlayHays.com has one goal, to be the
central place to find out what is going on in Hays. PlayHays.com is
a culmination of The Hays Convention and Visitors Bureau, private
business, and local individuals volunteering their time to offer
feedback and input to make this site as efficient as possible.
By making the site searchable by
various criteria, such as category of event, location, and keyword,
finding something to do has never been easier.How many times have
you heard “there's nothing to do in Hays”? The problem
has not been lack of events, it is simply people don't know where to
look! There are so many community calendars out there, but most are
not updated properly, this is not due to the organization not keeping
their site up to date, local entities just get overwhelmed submitting
their events to the various locations hoping that they get enough
exposure making it worth the effort. Since different people know
about different calendars, very few of the calendars have the same
information, leading to all of them being incomplete. PlayHays.com
is looking to change that, we want everyone to pull our listings FREE
OF CHARGE!
Can
other websites display the events listed on PlayHays.com?
Absolutely! By using RSS you can
import all events into your web site, using your customized look and
feel by following the instructions at this page:
