Patch Guide is a new series on the site where each week Patch will guide residents through one aspect of local life. Topics will include activities for kids, restaurants to grab food, places to buy school supplies and much more.
The unique part is that every week we will ask for suggestions of what to put in the next guide on Facebook and Twitter, so readers can the guide the making of the guides.
Here’s a guide for Farmingdale youth leagues with program descriptions and where to sign up.
