    About this ebook

    Celebrate the dads in your life!

    After all they've done for us, dads everywhere deserve to be appreciated on a daily basis, rather than waiting all year for a card and tie (or some power tools). Though the holiday has morphed over the years into more of a commercial event, it's high time we got back to the idea of making Dad feel treasured and appreciated all the time.

    Think back on the many things, big and small, your father has done for you over the years—isn’t it time you started making those same gestures in the other direction? We think so! It is never too early, or for that matter, too late, to make a parent feel special.

    In these pages, you’ll find idea after idea that will encompass a wide variety of activities to get you thinking about how to make your dad feel special, even if you don’t live close by. Also included are quotes, and special stories and memories from numerous people about what makes fatherhood, or their own father, special. Go ahead and remember to buy that card and bring over some treats on the actual Father's Day, but in the meantime, here are some ways to make every day count . . .

      Every Day Should be Father's Day - Jennifer Basye Sander

      BREWING CLASS

      The US seems like one big brew pub sometimes, with a new rustic onsite brewery opening in every town each weekend. There is no shortage of places to drink bespoke beer. Has the popularity of small batch brewing inspired you to give it a try on your own? Or maybe it’s cider that intrigues you? Why not ask your dad if he also has an interest in trying to become a home brewer?

      Check out home brewing classes at adult education venues near you like public libraries or community colleges. You could also join the American Homebrewers Association and learn from their online tutorials and forums: homebrewersassociation.org. A one-year membership is currently less than $50 and gives you access to everything you need to get started.

      According to beverage industry studies, although beer volume declined for five years straight, US residents consumed 26.5 gallons of beer and cider per person in 2018.

      WILD NIGHT IN

      While the food world is all agog about plant-based meat like the Impossible Burger, your dad might be more interested in going wild at this point in his life. Wild game, that is. If your family doesn’t hunt (or know someone who does and is willing to share the bounty) there are many sources for ordering wild game and having it delivered for a special dinner. Check out Cavendish Game Birds of Vermont at cavendishgamebirds.com, or check out the offerings of free-range venison, antelope, or wild boar at Texas’s Broken Arrow Ranch, brokenarrowranch.com.

      Hunting as an activity is falling off in many states, but maybe you and your father could take a hunter safety class together. There are now online courses you can take in the comfort of your own home, and even if you never plan to hunt, it’s a good thing to know how to safely handle guns.

      Looking for recipes on what to do with your wild game? Cookbook author and dedicated hunter Hank Shaw runs a great site called Honest-Food.net that is filled with delicious advice. His blog, Hunter, Angler, Gardner, Cook, is well worth following if you want to have a more direct relationship with your food.

      I love the comic opportunities that come up in the context of a father-son relationship.

      Community Clean-Up

      No need to butt heads with your elders over who believes what about climate change; why not instead find a community clean-up day nearby and pick up your own little corner of the world together? Your local parks, neighborhoods, and business districts could all use a little help, and pitching in on an organized clean-up is a great way to give back. Working side by side with your father to pick up trash might well spark him to share memories of times past in the park or neighborhood or what businesses used to be where back in the day. Keep your eyes peeled for info on a local clean-up effort, or check out kab.org, the website of Keep America Beautiful, and search for an event near you.

      Can’t find one in your area? Why not organize one for your own community? Budgetdumpster.com has a list of tips for planning a clean-up day, from choosing a focus to recruiting volunteers and even throwing the post-clean-up party.

      Your dad might remember when, in 1965, the First Lady of the United States, Lady Bird Johnson, joined the Keep America Beautiful campaign to beautify the nation’s highways, or, in 1967, Lassie appeared as a mascot for an anti-litter campaign.

      DOG SLEDDING

      Alaska is on many a bucket list, and what could be more adventurous than standing behind a team of hardworking dogs pulling a sled through the snow? The childhood dream of any boy who read a Jack London story comes to life! Every so often it’s fun to daydream about a big ticket item, and heading to Alaska for a dogsledding trip with your father certainly fits the bill. Check out the dream trips on Yukonwild.com

      Down in the Lower 48, there are also opportunities to ride behind a team of dogs. In California, you can experience an afternoon trip near Lake Tahoe with Sierra Adventures, info at wildsierra.com. In Colorado, there are several companies that operate near ski resorts like Steamboat Springs and Breckenridge. The state tourism site, Colorado.com, has a complete list to peruse. Minnesota has a thriving dog sledding community also, information at dogsledding.com.

      Unforgettable Father Moments

      I’d just finished intelligence school in Baltimore and was sent to Washington, DC, on special assignment before my tour in Vietnam. On a two-week leave, the plan was to meet my dad on the freeway outside of DC. It was hot and sunny that day. My dad was driving a semi-truck from New York to Florida—we’d arranged to meet at a specified offramp on the interstate at a certain time. I was standing at the agreed location waiting for my dad when I saw him drive by without stopping, without
