It's Satuday, which means our march to the Oak Lawn Tour de Patch continues. Meanwhile, we're in the middle of weeklong scavanger hunt.
The game will come to a head Wednesday, June 27, when Patchers blanket with our zealous spirit, volunteer efforts and most importantly for you — LOTS of giveaways, such as free gift cards to anyone who utters the secret word, "Park Lawn", to us while we are out and about that day.
As a preview, let's go on a virtual scavenger hunt!
If you can idenitfy where this is, you will win a $5 gift card to Starbucks. Here's a hint: he has a cousin on 63rd Street and Pulaski Road. The first person to email me at lorraine.swanson@patch.com wins.
Congratulations to Theresa Roche who correctly guessed where Friday's "smile" was located. (The thespian faces on the side of the .)
