Father's Day in Barnstable

Send us your best father/child photos, videos, and memories, and let the whole town know what Father's Day means to you.

Father's Day is this Sunday, and Barnstable Patch wants to celebrate by showing off your father and child memories. Send us your photos, stories, and thoughts on what makes your dad special, and we'll publish a selection of the best, just in time for the big day.

Whatever it is, Patch wants to know, and to help you share it with the whole town. Send your photos, videos, or written…
