Patch Hits the Road

Ever want to know more about Patch? Wonder what a local paper can do during a national election season? Or did you ever just want a really cool T-shirt?

The Patchfinder, Patch's own newsroom-on-wheels, is coming to Madison Saturday with staff, SWAG and plenty of fun. The green 23-foot RV has been to New Hampshire and South Carolina for the Republican Primaries, and now it's coming to Morris County.

Follow Patchfinder on Twitter and track its location. It has quite a few stops along its journey, hitting North Carolina, Virgina, Maryland and Pennsylvania before New Jersey. Then on to New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

If you happen to stumble upon Patchfinder in your travels be sure to send us a photo
