HISTORIC TRIANGLE — Father’s Day is just around the corner on Sunday, June 20.
From teaching their kids how to ride a bike, to walking them down the aisle, fathers have a special place in their children’s lives.
While it can be hard to find the right gift for Dad to show him how much you appreciate him, sometimes just spending time with him and doing things you both enjoy is the best present.
With summer approaching, there are plenty of outdoor activities to enjoy.
Here are some fun events to treat Dad to this Father’s Day weekend.
