Show the Nation How Oak Forest Celebrated the Fourth of July

By Ryan Fitzpatrick, Patch social media editor

PROBLEM: Fourth of July is over, and you're tragically left with a memory card full of great firework photos and nobody to share them with.

SOLUTION: Patch Boards.

Yes, even you can effortlessly show off your digital photography prowess with but a few keystrokes and clicks.

Simply head over to the Announcement Board on Oak Forest Patch and click on the Post button to share your photos and videos. 

Then, sit back and revel in your freshly published work. Better yet, share it with your friends.

"See that dedicated Patch user?" Your neighbors will remark as you walk by. "That's one mighty fine fireworks photographer!"

And—here's the best part—the above process can be applied to anything. Photos of lizards, photos of antique benches, photos of local celebrity lookalikes. You can even rebel and announce something with just words and no photos at all!

Experiment. Go crazy (within reason). We'd love to see what you can come up with.
