Thanks moshu. Looking at the construction of the URL with the events plugin, it looks like a date value needs to be passed along with the category id. So I created a test URL using the year as the date variable and it worked.

So now I’ll add some simple PHP in there to handle adding the date for the current year. In our case, we don’t really need to go back to other years, but if we did that would probably be a simple fix.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
