Time flies when you’re having fun.

No saying could be truer today for the folks behind Land O’ Lakes Patch.

It’s been two years and a day since we officially flipped the switch to bring Land O’ Lakes Patch to you. In that time, we’ve had the honor of meeting hundreds of local residents and sharing their stories with others in the community. We’ve cheered for your victories and we’ve cried along with you when tragedy struck.

Since Dec. 16, 2010, we’ve proudly watched as Land O’ Lakes Patch went from a local curiosity to the place many of you count on to stay abreast of what’s going on in and around the community. It’s also fast become your destination to talk about the things that matter to you. And that’s exactly what we’d hoped for!

As we said when we first launched, this site was tailored especially for you. Simply put, Land O' Lakes Patch is all about you.

Patch is designed to make sure you have lots of opportunities to comment on the stories we write, share your opinions, post your own photos, blogs and announcements and even add events to the community calendar. It is our hope that Patch has served to strengthen the sense of community in Land O’ Lakes and that it will continue to do so for years to come.

We haven’t been able to do any of it without you.

So, as we mark our second-year milestone, we wanted to say thank you Land O’ Lakes for your continued support of Patch! Whether you’ve stopped by to read an article, liked us on Facebook, followed us on Twitter or become a regular blogger, commenter or poster on the site, we appreciate your support and passion for Patch.

Here’s to another great year ahead!
