Father’s Day: Spend time together
A walk with dad long the beach.
Father’s Day was established to honor all fathers, grandfathers, and father figures who have influenced your life.
Father’s Day is regularly observed on the third Sunday of June. This year, it’s June 19, just about three weeks out.
Sure, you can send a card, buy him tools, gadgets or a new polo shirt, but you know that dad really wants is to spend time with you.
Why not surprise him with a trip to Cannon Beach and a stay in an ocean front room at Tolovana Inn? Reserve your room today, or order gift certificates for a future stay.
Father’s day was first noted in June, 1910 in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA. Sonora Smart Dodd told her pastor she thought fathers should have a day of recognition, like Mother’s did. She was inspired by her own father who raised six children as a single parent. Her pastor agreed as did his colleagues. On the third Sunday in June 19, 1910, “sermons honoring fathers were presented throughout the city.”
Despite several initiatives, including merchant-driven efforts that were greeted with some cynicism, it took several decades for Father’s Day to be fully recognized. President Lyndon B. Johnson issued the first presidential proclamation honoring fathers, in 1966, designating the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day. Six years later, the day was made a permanent national holiday when President Richard Nixon signed it into law in 1972.
History aside, father’s are critical and spending time with the men in your life who matter is a great tradition to uphold.
