- Catch Des Moines — via Playwright. Widened the captured query’s
date_rangeto the full two weeks, paginated 185 in-window events, kept 49 family-fit, and rendered each keeper’s detail page for time + price. - DSM Partnership — Downtown Farmers Market, both Saturdays.
Caveat: Family-fit is inferred from Catch Des Moines’s own category tags + title keywords, with an absolute denylist for bar/brewery/21+/gala events (so “Zoo Brew” is dropped despite the “zoo”). A couple of kept events list no time or price even on their detail page — each links out to confirm.
