He's new in town and is using Avon Patch to learn about Avon.
A big welcome to one of Avon's newest residents, and Avon Patch's newest fan, Josh Zucker! Zucker won the $25 Caribou Coffee gift card at last week's Patchiversary event.

In spite of the lousy weather early on, Patch followers came out, from my old Plain Dealer buddy Jim Strang to Maryjane Edgar from the Crushers Booster Club to Hope Christian Church minister Rolland Bryar to former Caribou manager Shannon Masters, who is now running Cafe 83 in North Ridgeville. Maryjane was nice enough to bring one of our free coffees to Avon Clerk …
