Become King or Queen of SJC for a Day

We’re reaching that big milestone, 500 likes on Facebook.

So who will cross that threshold? Who will be lucky No. 500? We’d like to offer a fabulous prize, but instead, we’ll just make you unofficial queen or king for a day in San Juan Capistrano.

What other advantages are there to your deep, abiding admiration on the social media giant? For starters, you’ll be in the know. Make that first in the know.

San Juan Capistrano Patch is often first out the gates on important stories. We were the first to tell you about the mayor’s attack, the first to tell you about an important court hearing in the lawsuit a group of citizens brought against the city.

When it comes to covering important meetings, we’ll get you same-night coverage, maybe even some video. Juan the Zoomars dinosaur? Caltrans meeting on the Ortega interchange project? We're on it.

Sometimes, we’re the only source for important stories, such as what happened in the death of a local resident when he checked into an Orange County detox center or how the city is responding to San Diego Gas & Electric’s attempt to rebuild the substation in town.

Not to mention our nonstop coverage of school news that’s comparable to none.
