Let's Party: Oak Lawn Tour de Patch is Upon Us
Our crew of nearly 20 Southland Patch editors, ad managers and other staff will descend on Oak Lawn TODAY to sprinkle goodies and volunteerism throughout the community. Come see us at the Oak Lawn Farmers Market and Deja Brew.
Today is the day you've been waiting for!
OK, maybe not exactly. But hey, it's the day we at Patch have been waiting for. Today, your Southland Patchers are flocking to Oak Lawn to volunteer, visit with business owners and most importantly for you — hand out TONS of giveaways, such as free gift cards to anyone who utters the secret word, "Park Lawn", to us while we are out and about.

It's your Oak Lawn Patch editor's way of thanking our loyal readers--the best and smartest readers of all the Patches in America.
Congratulations to our winners of Tuesday's Local Clue, Margaret Gory and Jen Clark, who correctly identified the little Indian as the Papoose Children Center's mascot.
And we misspelled our winner's name of Monday's local clue--Shannon Haak, not Sharon. Sorry, Shannon. We regret the error.
The Skinny on Tour de Patch:
- Keep an eye out and join us TODAY, June 27, as we tour the Oak Lawn community. We’ll be pretty easy to find, as we’ll be decked out in our bright green Patch gear.
- If you see Patchers in Oak Lawn, tell us the Secret Word, and win one of our Best Buy, iTunes or Starbucks cards. We'll have other prizes, too, including T-shirts, Patch pens and magnets and more.
- From 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., you can stop by the Oak Lawn Farmers Market at Cook and Dumke, where Patch will be sharing a table with FirstMerit Bank, and after 11 a.m. at Deja Brew.
- Be ready to pose for pictures, or even get in on one of our videos.
Let’s enjoy this village.
See you on tour!

I'm going to wear my patch t-shirt until it falls off.
