Road Repairs Pushed Back, Fair Opens Tuesday and More Community News

Watsonville Patch's new local boards are hopping. Here's a selection of the up-to-the-minute information your friends and neighbors are adding.





The new local boards on Watsonville Patch are hopping with important city announcements—that road repair project was delayed, FYI—as well as job listings and social events. 

Patch boards are like the bulletin board at your community center or local coffee shop. They're a great place to post when you're seeking music lessons, want to share an update on your business or need to let your neighbors know about an upcoming celebration. You can also use the boards to ask your neighbors a question or to start a local conversation.

Subscribe to any of our local boards by clicking the button that says "Get the daily newsletter" at the top of the page to get these updates from your friends and neighbors instantly in your inbox. Post to the boards simply by clicking in the box that says, "What's up?"
