Patch Celebrates Anniversary With Special Birthday Message

With the one-year anniversary of the Port Washington-Saukville Patch this week, Patch takes a look at Port and Saukville residents celebrating birthdays, too. Tuesday we say happy birthday to Rebecca Dowe.

It's a great day to be alive.

Patch is celebrating its one-year anniversary of the launch of the Port Washington-Saukville site this week.

Patch launched last year with stories about a new specialty shop opening in downtown Port, an award honoring several students and teachers, a Saukville native heading to the Rosebowl and more. So much more has happened since that first week, and this month-by-month series takes a look back at 2011.

To add to the celebration, Patch reached out to the community to find residents celebrating their own birthdays this week, and found Rebecca Dowe, who turns 11 on Tuesday.

Dowe said favorite things to do in Port are visiting the lake — where her family walks their dog, Bandit — and attending the many summer festivals.
