Post Title Appears but excerpt Does Not

https://ahy4life.com/test2/index2.php

I would like for the right column-top to show the events title and just below it it an excerpt. Only title appearsNot sure what I am missing here. The content on /test2/events.php show just fine. Do I need to specify a category for the excerpt?

Thanks, -Biggs
