Ripley, West Virginia

Ripley Community Calendar and Bulletin Board

Problem

Information doesn't flow. Events, opportunities, and services exist—but many people never hear about them. Traditional media has faded; online spaces are fragmented or hard to access.

Solution

ripleywv.net, titled 'Ripley Community Calendar and Bulletin Board', is run by Main Street Ripley, a 501(c)(3) Main Street program with no paid employees, and describes itself as maintained by volunteers. Ripley-area residents submit yard sales, church events, items for sale and rentals through a web form that volunteers review within 24 hours; as of November 2026 the bulletin board held 4 posts from 3 users, and the calendar page rendered no events when fetched.
