Welcome to Cranberry Patch!

Hey there! Thanks for checking out Cranberry Patch, your one-stop site to find out everything you ever needed (or wanted) to know about your community.

So who are we, and what the heck are we doing? Well, our goal is simple -- to connect you with your community. Cranberry Patch will be your online source to find the latest and greatest community and school district news and local events. We also have a comprehensive community directory of local businesses, restaurants, churches and more.

The site will be updated regularly throughout the day to give you the inside scoop on what's happening in your community. We'll be there to cover the big games and the smaller triumphs. If an accident is tying up traffic, you can count on us to bring you all the details first. Most of all, we're here to cover you, the residents of Cranberry. 

Is there something you think deserves a story? If so, shoot an email to  Jessica.Sinichak@patch.com or give me a call at 412-417-6509.  In addition to being a Cranberry resident, I'm also the for Cranberry Patch.

Along with a team of experienced journalists, I'll be out and about at school board meetings, township meetings and other events. But I can't do it without you. You are what Cranberry Patch is all about. I look forward to receiving your news tips and announcements.

This site was made for you. Your comments, your feedback and your story ideas are all welcome here. And Cranberry Patch makes it so easy! After taking in our stories and coverage, please feel free (literally ... there's no cost associated with the site) to upload your own photos and video.

Got something to say? All stories are open for comment. And guess what? We look forward to hearing your thoughts and opinions on the stories that matter most.

Need to find your dentist or a florist in a hurry? Look no further than our extensive . Along with Cranberry businesses, shops and restaurants, the directory includes local organizations, religious institutions, government listings and much more.

And don't be shy. If you see me on the street or running my pups at the Cranberry Dog Park -- or even relaxing with a glass of wine at -- stop by and say "Hi!"
