I have spent a lot of time on this

Ok, I tried a few different things and i'm returning different errors now. Here is the code:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

};

{
hour = 0;
minute = 0;
}

Time::Time(int hr, int min)
{
hr = hour;
min = minute;
}

void Time::setHour(int hr)
{
if(0 <= hr && hr < 24)
hr = hour;
else

As you can tell, I am completely new at this and I feel like I am botching up this assignment. Any help would be great.

[code] "Your code goes here" [/code]

The insertion/extraction operators (<<, >>) are used with streams (cin, cout, files, string-streams).
The way you are using it eventOne.printName() << " occurs on " So Event::printName must return a valid type, but void Event::printName().
This repeat in several functions.

Also

void Event::printTime()
{
eventTime.getHour() << ":" << eventTime.getMinute();
} 

That is bad programming. You already have an Time::printTime method, use it. Try to rewrite your code without getters (and maybe private setters).
