Father’s Day takes place the third Sunday in June. This year it falls on Sunday, June 19, 2022. Many will give dad a gift, buy him a hometown t-shirt, or give him a homemade card with a photo, a message, a doodle and your name. The most important thing is to show dad you care. It’s traditional to spend the day to honor dad with a cook out, a ball game, songs, and special thoughts.
