More than 100 pages of things to do

With a daily paper, yesterday’s edition is, well, yesterday’s news. We are proud that more than 50 percent of Cityview readers hang on to our paper for five days or more. Now that’s shelf life, and this issue is a perfect example of why that happens.

Welcome to our Summer Arts and Entertainment Guide. At 104 pages, this is one of our largest papers of the year. Why? Because it is packed with information on things to do throughout the summer in the areas of film, art, music, theater and outdoors. This issue is your definitive guide to summer fun.

If we have heard it once from the naysayers, we have heard it a million times: there’s nothing to do in Des Moines. These folks should learn to read and take some time to plan their summer around all there is to offer. Just glance at a few pages and you will find the most comprehensive list of arts and entertainment in Central Iowa. We know that 95 percent of our readers look to us for dining and entertainment options, so if you are one of our 75,000 weekly readers and plan on attending concerts, films, plays, art exhibitions or outdoor events, this is the place to start.

Putting this paper together was an enormous task. We make efforts to include as much information as possible that we feel will be relevant to our readers. If we happened to miss information on your summer event, please let us know so we can update the content on our Web site.

We encourage you to have another event-filled summer and try something new this time around. The options are certainly there.
Thanks for reading. CV
