5 Things: Help Bedford Patch win a Facebook Race!

1. It's a race! With some crazy election results and a lot of attention directed toward Windham Patch for information, the Windham Patch Facebook page surged to 894 Facebook 'Likes' this week. Bedford Patch picked up 24 Facebook followers in the last 48 hours to get to 820, but I'll need your help to catch up to Windham Patch Editor Michael Ryan before he hits 1,000. After all, on the line, thanks to our friendly wager, is dinner and drinks at River Road Tavern or the Common Man. Click here to 'like' Bedford Patch on Facebook, and thank you for your help!
