I think the calendar in the URL you gave us is a Joomla extension. Are you using a CMS?

Generally speaking, a calendar would be associated with a data base.

The essential parts of a calendar DB table are a title, a starting DATEIME and an ending DATETIME. You may have other parts (description, location, points of contact, etc.) but you can create a meaningful calendar with only those three.

Some information that may help you become familiar with the technology behind whatever calendar you choose is available in this article.

The Reese calendar is administered through an interface, no need for programming ability

Oh, yeah, I just noticed that. The site where I was using it no longer exists, or I would have sent it to you.
