Stormy Days, Sunny Facebook Numbers

Our Facebook numbers took a nice jump.

Here at Grafton Patch, we take social media pretty seriously.

The platform is one way we look to interact with you, answer your questions and get to see what's on your mind. Social Media Saturday is a weekly feature where we highlight your questions and thoughts you've shared on Facebook and other media throughout the week. We'll also point you to pages you may not have known about before.
