20 Spots to Celebrate Father's Day in CT (2022 Edition)

April Guilbault

He’s cheered, he’s listened. He has tied laces, schlepped sports equipment like a sherpa traversing the highest peaks, dried tears, cooked meals, braided hair, taught you how to dance (or not), helped guide you on the finer points of catapult construction for your physics class, riddled you with Dad jokes until you just couldn’t listen to one more, moved you into dorms, schooled you on dating and not making a fool of yourself in front of the world, helped you move into your first apartment, even wore a tutu.

Raise a glass, give a hug, this fellow deserves it.
