Note: Some events may be held on different days/dates in other years.  If I know (to the best of my knowledge/research) that at least one event on a specific day/date is changeable (i.e. held on the 1st Sunday, rather than February 1st, each year), I added the year to the date-format, in the listings above (i.e. 2/1/15, instead of just 2/1).
