Patch Tour: Meet Patch Editors at Rummage Daze

From a community rummage sale and a graduation ceremony to sports, music and business events, Brookfield Patch staff will be on "tour" to say "hello" and make new connections.

I'm often too busy behind my computer or notebook to socialize.

But in the past eight years that I have covered the Brookfield and Elmbrook communities on and off (mostly on), I have met a large number of Brookfield residents and business owners.

Now I get the chance to meet even more, and help raise awareness of Brookfield Patch, a site in its infancy with great potential to grow and improve.

Come meet us and tell us what you think so far of the website and its Facebook and Twitter sites. What would you like dumped or added? What type of stories or content most interest you?
