Good morning, readers,

Welcome to ChattanoogaNow, your weekly guide to arts and entertainment events in the Tennessee Valley.

Formerly known as Current and appearing in Friday's paper, ChattanoogaNow will be included in your Thursday Times Free Press to give you an extra day to plan your weekend.

But ChattanoogaNow is more than a newspaper section. It is set to become the most comprehensive calendar in the region, and that's where you can help.

On our website, www.ChattanoogaNow.com, we've simplified the process for you to add your events to our calendar. Once checked and approved (generally within 24 hours), your event will join the growing list of ways you and other readers may spend your leisure time. The expanded calendar will become your go-to source for all types of events and recreational activities.

But the website is more than a detailed account of the area's entertainment options. It's also a place to purchase event tickets, book hotel rooms and peruse restaurant menus. Maps and profile pages are included to help you find out more about the venues.

Chattanooga is a vibrant, busy city. Be a part of the happenings with ChattanoogaNow.
