Red Apple Farm & Brew Barn Events

Fetch upcoming events from two sources near the cabin in Phillipston, MA, and sync them to the [email protected] Google Calendar.

Event Sources

| Source | URL | Type | |--------|-----|------| | Red Apple Farm | https://www.redapplefarm.com/events | Static HTML (Squarespace) | | Brew Barn | https://www.brewbarnma.com/events | Wix (requires JS rendering) |

Step 1: Fetch Red Apple Farm Events

Red Apple Farm's events page is static HTML. Use curl to fetch it:

curl -s https://www.redapplefarm.com/events

Parse the event listing. Events are in a .user-items-list-item-container structure with:

• .list-item-content__title — event name
• .list-item-content__description — date and details

Annual events typically include:

• Northfolk Night Market (Feb)
• Enchanted Orchard Renaissance Faire (May)
• Summer Strings Music Festival (Jun)
• Blueberry Jamboree (Jul)
• Sunflower Festival (Aug)
• Appleseed Country Fair (Labor Day)
• Applefest (Oct, at Wachusett Mountain)
• Thanksgiving Harvest Festival (Nov)
• Winter Lights (Nov-Dec)

Step 2: Fetch Brew Barn Events

Brew Barn is a Wix site — events are rendered inside an iframe (Boom Calendar widget) that standard snapshots cannot read. You must use the screenshot approach:

1. Navigate to https://www.brewbarnma.com/events
2. Wait 5+ seconds for the calendar iframe to render
3. Take a screenshot — the events are visible in the rendered page as a list with date, time, and event name
4. Read the event details from the screenshot image

The calendar shows an "Upcoming Events" agenda view with columns: date, time range, and event name + description.

IMPORTANT: The snapshot tool (aria/accessibility tree) will NOT show events — they are inside a cross-origin iframe from calendar.boomte.ch. You MUST use screenshot to visually read the events.

Brew Barn typically hosts live music nights (Thu-Sun), trivia, bingo, fish fry, and seasonal events. Events are usually:

• Thursdays — Ryan's Trivia Night (6-8pm)
• Fridays — Fish Fry + live music (3-8pm / 6-8pm)
• Saturdays — Live music + Dan-O Music Bingo (12-3pm / 6-8pm)
• Sundays — Live music or seasonal events (4-7pm)

Step 3: Deduplicate

Some events appear on both sites (e.g., major festivals). Deduplicate by matching event names and dates before creating calendar entries.

Step 4: Sync to Calendar

Create events on the [email protected] calendar using gws:

gws calendar events insert --params '{"calendarId": "primary"}' --json '{
  "summary": "🍎 [Event Name]",
  "description": "Source: Red Apple Farm / Brew Barn\nhttps://www.redapplefarm.com/events",
  "location": "Red Apple Farm, 455 Highland Ave, Phillipston, MA 01331",
  "start": {"date": "2026-07-19"},
  "end": {"date": "2026-07-20"}
}' --account [email protected]

For timed events (e.g., Brew Barn music nights):

gws calendar events insert --params '{"calendarId": "primary"}' --json '{
  "summary": "🍺 Live Music at Brew Barn - [Artist]",
  "description": "Source: Brew Barn\nhttps://www.brewbarnma.com/events",
  "location": "Brew Barn at Red Apple Farm, 455 Highland Ave, Phillipston, MA 01331",
  "start": {"dateTime": "2026-07-19T19:00:00-04:00", "timeZone": "America/New_York"},
  "end": {"dateTime": "2026-07-19T22:00:00-04:00", "timeZone": "America/New_York"}
}' --account [email protected]

Before creating, check for existing events to avoid duplicates:

Use the current year dynamically:

YEAR=$(date +%Y)
gws calendar events list --params "{
  \"calendarId\": \"primary\",
  \"q\": \"Red Apple\",
  \"timeMin\": \"${YEAR}-01-01T00:00:00-05:00\",
  \"timeMax\": \"${YEAR}-12-31T23:59:59-05:00\",
  \"singleEvents\": true,
  \"orderBy\": \"startTime\"
}" --account [email protected]

Emoji Prefixes

Use these prefixes in event summaries for quick identification:

• 🍎 — Red Apple Farm events
• 🍺 — Brew Barn events
• 🎵 — Live music events
• 🎃 — Fall/Halloween events
• 🎄 — Holiday/winter events

Notes

• All events go to [email protected] (OpenClaw's calendar), NOT Dylan's personal calendar
• Location for all events: 455 Highland Ave, Phillipston, MA 01331 (unless specified otherwise, e.g., Applefest is at Wachusett Mountain)
• Times are Eastern (America/New_York) — use -05:00 for EST, -04:00 for EDT
• For annual events without exact dates yet, create all-day events on the approximate date with "(Date TBD)" in the description
• When exact dates are announced, update existing events rather than creating duplicates
• gws outputs JSON — pipe through jq if needed for parsing
