Directions for Downloading

Note the following about the downloading process when you visit the links above. Find out the difference between the ICS Feed and the ICS File. 

ICS Feed: This is a live feed in the iCalendar format that will update automatically when event times and dates change. To use this feed, you will need a program capable of subscribing to a live iCalendar feed. Some examples include Apple iCal, Microsoft Outlook 2007 or higher, or Windows Calendar in Vista. 

ICS File: Use this feature to download an ICS file to use to import the Calendar’s event(s) into another program, such as Outlook, iCal, or Google Calendar. If you don’t have Outlook 2007 or higher, this file will work for you. Note that this feed will not automatically update the changes to event times and dates.
