I Scream, You Scream, We All Scream For Patch's Ice-Cream Social At Knudsen's!

Castro Valley Patch is inviting readers to an ice-cream social on April 26 to thank the San Lorenzo and Castro Valley communities for their continued support and to show new users how to better use all the features our website has to offer.

Yes, we know it's been a bit chilly, but that shouldn't stop us from getting together and enjoying some locally made ice cream, right?

Castro Valley Patch is throwing its first-ever ice-cream social at  from 5 to 7 p.m., Thursday, April 26.

We want to bring our editors, bloggers and readers together to thank everyone for contributing to the site, to hear your ideas and to share some great features we have to offer.

If you're a reader looking for an outlet to share insight on local issues, did you know you can start your own blog under our Local Voices blogging platform?

If you're a part of a local agency, organization or club, did you know you can on our site without our permission or approval?

If you're a local business owner, did you know you can on our site? 

Learn more about the great features you can take advantage of as users of Patch. Be part of better informing those in your community about the latest news, events and information going on around town.

And a very cool thing to mention is that our readers get to pick their very own Patch-inspired ice cream flavor to sample that day. How sweet is that?!

Among the list of Patchy flavors listed below, readers made their vote in a week-long poll. What makes these flavors Patchy you ask? Well, to go with our signature company color they're all green! However, don't expect any grass-flavored ice cream.

On April 12, the winning flavor that received the most votes was prickly pear! Co-owner Taryn Sandulyak will create it to be served to those who attend the April 26 ice cream social. It'll surely be delicious as .

Hope to see you there!

Another problem: When notified of a reply to a comment I could click the link in the email to go toRead More the article. That was not possible this time. So because a small minority zooms there computer the layout should be as it is? I don't think so. All that white space means that an article that could be read with just one or two clicks to scroll through is now going to take more scrolling to view. One thing that seems to be missing in today's world are web designers who (1) change the layout just because and (2) web designers who have neglected to consider the audience. The more I look at this layout the less I like it. The font needs to be darker than it is. the blue (like in "announcements") needs to be bolder. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 best), I rank the new "improved" design a 3.
