Across the globe, celebrations in honor of fathers, fatherhood, and father figures take place throughout the year. In the United States, we set aside the third Sunday of each June to spend a day showing our fathers our love, respect, and gratitude for their places in our lives. The holiday has earned an important place in our busy schedules, but Father’s Day has long history and was not always the popular celebration it has become.
The first recorded Father’s Day in the United States took place just two months after the first Mother’s Day celebration, in July of 1908. The day was set aside in Fairmont, West Virginia as a day of remembrance for the large number of men and fathers tragically lost in a nearby mining accident. The next official Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington in 1910, and thereafter the holiday’s popularity spread across the nation. The United States government, however, was slow to join the party. 56 years later, Lyndon B. Johnson issued a presidential proclamation urging citizens to honor their dads on Father’s Day, and finally in 1972, President Richard Nixon recognized Father’s Day as a federal holiday.
Food Truck of Candy
We celebrate our fathers by making Father’s Day all about our dads, preparing their favorite foods, partaking in their favorite activities, and by giving them special gifts. Any gift accompanied by a personalized sentiment will be sure to touch your dad or father figure’s heart. To warm up a working father’s office give your father an easy to care for tropical arrangement of dieffenbachia, fern, ivy, and spathiphyllum planted in an attractive container which he can enjoy for years to come. A father with a strong appetite will devour a gourmet gift basket or an edible arrangement delivered in a miniature truck. Our gift baskets and edible arrangements come available in several varieties to satisfy any father’s taste. No matter what gift you choose, your father will appreciate the sentiment on the special day.
At Schaaf Floral, we offer a large selection of plants, gift baskets, and edible arrangements perfect for the father figure in your life on Father’s Day. We wish you a wonderful day and lasting memories this Father’s Day!
