Celebrate Father's Day, Sunday, June 20, 2010!
Whether you are a dad, have a dad, or know a dad, there are many ways to let them know that they are appreciated and loved. Celebrating Father’s Day might mean attending a special event in your community or just spending time with your dad/child/husband/grandfather/stepfather. Whatever you decide to do, be sure to let dad know how much you care about him, and thank him for being a great dad. You can attend an event in your community, catch a movie, or just spend the day with dad.
