When creating CMS widget, how do I access calendar event custom fields

[shtkn]

I'm trying print out a custom event field i've added into the calendar in a PHP Execution widget for the front page. However, I can't find a way to access this data.

I've tried some simple stuff like $event[customField#] and $event['customField' . #] but no dice.

how would I access this info?

thank you for your time
