June is busting out all over!<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”02px”]<\/p>\n

Many of you will recognize this line from the musical \u201cCarousel\u201d as it is celebrating that summer is here, and everything is blooming and farms are in full planting and growth mode. But beside this fun song what else about June is special?
\nWell\u2026 Father\u2019s Day is June 18th this year so let\u2019s not forget to celebrate dear old Dad. But in some countries Father\u2019s Day is celebrated on the 19th of June.<\/p>\n

[spacer height=”03px”]<\/p>\n

The history of Father\u2019s day started in 1909, when Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd was at church listening to a sermon on Mother\u2019s day when she realized that Fathers were just as important. The very next year, the first Father\u2019s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910. Years later and through several changes, President Nixon signed the public law in 1972 that made Father\u2019s Day official as the third Sunday in June.<\/p>\n
