While dads (and moms) should be celebrated every day of the year, Father’s Day is a designated day on the calendar to recognize and thank your dad or father figure. It’s a time to say – and/or show – how much you love and appreciate the man. You can call him … visit him … send a greeting card … plan a family cookout … go to an event or do an activity together … buy a gift … plan a weekend getaway. Here are some suggestions on how to celebrate Father’s Day in the Kenosha Area:
