Electric Ghost Screen Printing LLC
– For the dad who loves plants. (And other cool things.)
Electric Ghost is a one-of-a-kind shopping experience located on 1218 Main Street. Based on many of the ideas that local screen printer Brooks Tipton has been curating for over a decade, the store offers screen printed shirts, original furniture and bolsters the local arts scene. The best part? The DIY plant lab. You can create an original hanging terrarium (with glass pieces made in-house by co-owner Shannon Shrum) for your dad, or better yet – bring him in to make one himself. Tipton says, “Dad’s love plants! A catci is a unique gift to give – they’re easy to keep alive, plus giving something living makes it extra special.”
The shop is open Tuesday – Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.

Grass Roots Farmers Cooperative
– For the dad who loves local food.
Buying from Grass Roots is a great way to get local, free range meat from around Arkansas. You’re guaranteed that all beef is 100 percent grass fed and raised by small-scale local farmers. That means there aren’t any hormones, antibiotics, or GMOs. If dad likes steak, take advantage of a sale running from now until Father’s Day on 10 percent off this package, which includes free shipping.
