A Very Brief History of Father's Day

Father's Day as a celebrated day to honour dads, grand dads & other men playing a significant 'father' role in someone's life is just over 100 years old. A young woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd campaigned hard to have an official day honouring father's. Her own father had raised her and her five siblings after her mother died during childbirth. Spurred on by the love for him she worked to have the day official. And on July 19, 1910 the first Father's Day was celebrated in Washington State. The celebration migrated North and Canadians also honour dad on the third Sunday in June! And we just want to take a moment to say 'Thank You' to the men who have made a significant difference in our lives ~ We Love You All!!
