A guide to your town.
Patch will help be your guide as you become a tourist in your town. Whether you're new to town or want to explore the city you've loved for years, we're here to show you what there is to see. Last week, Shrewsbury Patch gave you a daily excursion either locally or from around the area. We featured stories, photos and videos showing off the best of Shrewsbury. And you can tell us what you love about Shrewsbury, and we'll include it as part of our project. We hope this project encourages you to shop local, eat local and be local. Patch wants to show you how much your own town has to offer. And although everything appeared last week, it's not going anywhere. This page will remain a resource for you all year long. Whenever you're hosting …

A free workshop for smartphone users takes place later this month.
One of the many cool things about Patch is that you, the reader, can submit events and announcements directly, eliminating the middleman. Below is a sample of events and announcements Patch readers have contributed this week. 1. Confused by that fancy schmancy Droid phone you have in your pocket? Verizon Wireless wants to help. The Shrewsbury store posted information about these free workshops, which take place next week. 2. The Massachusetts Breast Cancer Coalition is inviting Shrewsbury residents to register for "Against the Tide," a fundraising event that involves various athletic activities.

After an inspection earlier this week, Camp St. John is cleared of the 50 violations cited last week.
Shrewsbury Public Health Director Derek Brindisi revisited Camp St. John's to go over the violations flagged by the state Department of Public Health in July.

Marilyn Monroe and traffic lights top the 5 things today.
Our weekday morning column, 5 Things You Need to Know, provides you with information that can help you plan your day and give you some fodder for water cooler conversations. 1. If you've been slacking at work lately, today is the day to kick it into high gear. It's National Work Like a Dog Day, so even though it's Friday, work hard and then enjoy the weekend. 2.

Got something to say? Patch.com has added a platform for local bloggers.
Since early May, Shrewsbury Patch has been making room for local bloggers on the site. We're always looking for bloggers who can riff on various topics, share their personality and engage our readers in discussions. Patch is more than a news site, it's an online conversation about your community. Then, we want to hear from you. This isn't a reporting job. It's blogging. You write what you want to say when you want to say it. Do it on your schedule, whether that's posting multiple entries per day or a couple times a month. Patch won't own what you post, so you can repost your entries to your other blogs. Much like The Huffington Post has done, Patch is providing local bloggers an online platform to have their words seen by a larger audience…
