Community Corner

It's Friday, Friday ... Facebook Friday!

Follow our Facebook page for news updates and conversation.

Here at Lemont Patch, Facebook is a big deal.

Not only does Facebook allow me to share stories and quick updates, but it allows me to interact with readers, answer questions and see what the community thinks about some of the biggest issues in town.

This week, we jumped to 621 fans — up from 583 last week! We love and appreciate all the support, so we hope you'll continue to share our Facebook page with friends.
