It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... the green machine? 

The giant Patch RV — 31 feet long and 8 feet wide — is lumbering through the 19 Tampa Bay towns we cover. We are making stops at local events and visiting businesses and organizations. We're promoting Patch and . 

Stop by, meet an editor and take part in some of our sweet Patch giveaways! Here's a look at our schedule this week.
