Feed: Calendar Events - Omni Calendar

Events for this feed are pulled from the Omni CMS Calendar when /_resources/data/calevents.pcf is published. It is recommended that this feed be published on a schedule (e.g. each night to pull in the events published on the previous day). Some may find that other methods work better for their site/users.
