Smithfield, We Want You To Tell Your Story

SMITHFIELD, RI — Hey Smithfield. It's me, your local Patch editor. And I have a proposition to make.

I want Smithfield to be represented in the best way it possibly can be: With transparency, pride, and passion. I know you yearn for a local knowledge that can only be earned from years of living here. So I'm reaching out to the community in hopes you offer your local voice in the "pages" of Patch.
If you love town history or have a take on business development, if you run a company or frequent a coffee shop, then you belong on Patch. What's more, you belong as Mayor of Smithfield Patch.

What's a Patch Mayor? It means you'll be able to:

• Spread the word to your neighbors and fellow residents about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, big games, the new store or restaurant, people worth knowing — and more — through your posts.
• Guide local conversations as the host of your Patch.
• Reach your neighbors and fellow residents through daily newsletters and Facebook.
• Earn the recognition of your Patch community.

Look forward to hearing from you, Smithfield. I'll see you on the Patch!

Is 'Mayor' the right fit for you? If not, we still want your local expertise - from photos of the apple orchards to your take on a school committee meeting - to inform and entertain the community.
