Tri-State’s Best Dad Bod Winner

The time has come to reveal the Tri-State's Best Dad Bod!

Father's Day is coming up on Sunday, June 15th. In honor of all the dads out here in the Tri-State, we want to honor Dad and his bod. As a dad, I am proud to say that I rock the dad bod. It's 2025, dad bods are the look. It's not a specific body type, but rather a term that describes a body that is not overly muscular but may have a "beer belly" or "spare tire". Or, if your dad bod is like mine, you might look like a man sitting on a chicken. Whatever kind of dad bod you have, own it, be proud of it, and show it off!

The WKDQ Dad Bod Photo Contest

We've gathered the best, and you have voted. Your votes have determined which Tri-State dad bod will be crowned the 3rd Runner-Up, 2nd Runner-Up, and 1st Runner-Up. The results of the Tri-State's Best Dad Bod Contest are in. It's time to see who struts their stuff to the top to be crowned the Tri-State's Best Dad Bod.
