Can you believe it's been two years since we launched?
I know, I know: It's difficult for me to believe that Canon-McMillan Patch is 2-years old, too. But that's how long it's been since we started covering all things Canonsburg, Cecil, North Strabane and the Canon-McMillan School District. And we've been through a lot together, news-wise, in the past year alone.

Yes, today the website turns 1. What a year it's been.
Cue the “Happy Birthday” song. Yes, my friends, it’s been a whole year since we launched Canon-McMillan Patch. And what a year it’s been.

Canonsburg to covering the borough’s Fourth of July parade—there’s always something fun going on in the borough. Then there’s Perry (Perry Como, late crooner to those friends who check out the site but might nor realize he's a hometown boy). Borough officials dress him for the season.
