We found that when we share events on Facebook, the event shows who put up the original post or event. BUT if we enter the details for an event on our page, it shows us as the host. So to avoid confusion, we no longer create events from the information in posts that we receive.

Oh! One other thing.We DO NOT put on or host events. We share information on them and promote them.
