No, I haven't successfully done that. It can be really difficult to get people to attend in-person events, especially if they're not already a part of your online community. You might want to try hosting an online event instead.

You can also reach out to local businesses and ask if they would be interested in sponsoring your event. Planning an event can be a lot of work, but it's a great way to bring your online community together and build relationships with your members.

Greetings from Madison, Wisconsin.

I am a firm believer that this will not change for a long time, local TV will continue to live as long as we stand for it.
