How do I get Greg’s list on a regular basis. I see it from time to time in different locations.
What a terrific resource for having fun and learning about our area, thanks.
This is great! How can we receive these listings weekly? Is there a FB page or can they be emailed? Great resource!
Greg’s List runs every weekend on MoreMonmouthMusings.com. Art G. usually posts it on Thursday mornings and it stays on the site through Sunday. Thanks for all the compliments — I put a lot of work into it.
