What Does Your Dad Mean to You?

Father's Day is Sunday, June 16. The sale signs and circulars are everywhere promoting gifts like ties, electronics and other gadgets for Dad. But this year, Patch invites you to gift your father, stepfather, uncle, grandfather or any other man that has been influential in your life with a unique tribute: share his story. What are some of your fondest memories with Dad? What advice has he offered you that has helped you the most over the course of your life? Why is he so special to you? Why does he deserve recognition? (You can also take the opportunity to brag on your husband about what makes him an amazing father.) Tell us about your Dad and share photos through our free Local Voices blogging section. Then you can surprise him by sending him an e-card with the link. To get started, join Patch and click the "Start Blogging" button on the bottom of the screen. Create your blog profile and write your first post! It's that easy! Not tech savvy? Don't worry, just email Val Engler at val.engler@patch.com with any questions about how to get your story up on Patch! Happy Father's Day!
