I am organizing a series of activities in very small towns (one of the ten towns has a population over 1000) These activities will be advertised locally, naturally..they will also be advertised in a couple cities within driving distance.

I need to name this thing so I can quit calling it 'activities'.
The best I've come up with so far is Big Doin's. My goal is to have a ruralesque-sounding name that won't insult locals and also doesn't sound toothless/backward to cityfolks.

Does Big Doin's sound dumb to you?
Is that the way it should be written?

Thanks,
Melissa
