+### Additional Event Parameters
+
+If you want to add [additional parameters](http://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_data/Event_Object) to your events, there are two options:
+
+#### Using `Calendar::event()`
+
+Pass an array of `'parameter' => 'value'` pairs as the 6th parameter to `Calendar::event()`:
+
+```php
+$event = \Calendar::event(
+    "Valentine's Day", //event title
+    true, //full day event?
+    '2015-02-14', //start time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg)
+    '2015-02-14' //end time, must be a DateTime object or valid DateTime format (http://bit.ly/1z7QWbg),
+	1, //optional event ID
+	[
+		'url' => 'http://full-calendar.io',
+		//any other full-calendar supported parameters
+	]
+);
+
+```
+
+#### Add an `getEventOptions` method to your event class
+
+```php
+<?php
+class CalendarEvent extends \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model implements \MaddHatter\LaravelFullcalendar\Event
+{
+	//...
+
+	/**
+     * Optional FullCalendar.io settings for this event
+     *
+     * @return array
+     */
+    public function getEventOptions()
+    {
+        return [
+            'color' => $this->background_color,
+			//etc
+        ];
+    }	
+
+	//...
+}
+
+```
+
 ### Create a Calendar
 To create a calendar, in your route or controller, create your event(s), then pass them to `Calendar::addEvent()` or `Calendar::addEvents()` (to add an array of events). `addEvent()` and `addEvents()` can be used fluently (chained together). Their second parameter accepts an array of valid [FullCalendar Event Object parameters](http://fullcalendar.io/docs/event_data/Event_Object/).
