Create a finished vertical social media story graphic announcing an event, in a 9:16 aspect ratio. Produce the graphic itself, without a phone frame, app interface, or mockup. Keep all text inside the middle 80% of the height so app controls do not cover it. POST TEXT Use the following event information exactly as written. The labels before each colon are for you, not for the graphic; print only the text after them. Do not invent extra event details.
