I've added the example text.

As for the dates, I guess it depends what people want.

I'm personally often looking for something like "any Friday or Saturday in July", so a "range" doesn't work well for me. However your example was just a range. I'm not really sure how to make that work well with a calendar.

But I also don't really care if the UX is amazing. Move fast and break things, right? Hence why this exists, and a calendar on AC.com doesn't?

I've had some concerns with this, but they seem fine with it being pretty open on their website, and I'm being careful not to harm them.
