Save the date! New print & digital calendar launching June 1

SPRINGFIELD – Willamalane has joined The Chronicle in launching a multi-platform, hyper-local calendar serving the communities Springfield, Cottage Grove, Creswell, and Pleasant Hill. 

The digital calendar launches June 1, and the newly expanded and curated product debuts in a two-page spread with the June 3 edition. 

“This is an exciting, new product that further differentiates The Chronicle from other local media sources,” said executive editor Erin Tierney-Heggenstaller. “The ease-of-use on our calendar on mobile and digital devices ultimately will help us draw more readers and serve our communities better.” 

Whitney Hoshaw, Willamalane marketing and communications manager, said: “Community events bring people together, and that’s what Willamalane is all about. This new event calendar is a great tool to see what’s happening right here in Lane County, and we’re glad to help make that possible.”
