Father's Day Trivia! Did you know?

 
Picture
Father’s Day this year is June 19th, but believe it or not its road to becoming an official day was anything but smooth sailing. In the early 1900s two women who were inspired by the creation of Mother’s Day tried to get the idea of Father’s Day off the ground. In West Virginia Grace Golden Clayton, the daughter of a minister proposed a service to honor fathers, particularly those who had recently died in a terrible mining accident. In Spokane Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by her civil war veteran father who also raised her as a single parent to organize an event that saw her delivering presents to handicapped fathers, boys from the YMCA wearing roses in their lapels (red for living fathers, white for those who had passed), and local ministers delivering homilies about fathers.  However, men initially viewed the idea of Father’s Day as too similar to Mother’s Day, making it seem too feminine an idea. Also, at that time in our history society was patriarchal, so many fathers felt a day to celebrate them was rather silly since it was the mothers who were underappreciated.  It wasn’t until 1972 a full 48 years after Mother’s Day became a National Holiday that President Nixon declared the third Sunday in June as Father’s Day.  Of course today it’s a day to let dad do all the things he loves to do, and the Lowcountry is a perfect place for many of those activities (fishing, grilling, kayaking, etc.) We can help you add just the right spice to his day with local beef jerky and hot sauce from shthatshot.com, bbq sauce from bulliesbbq.com, or perhaps a custom bourbon glass from Burnt Church Distillery.  However you want to honor dad we will make it even more memorable!
