History of
Father's Day:
Father's Day dates back to 1909 in Washington state, when a woman named
Sonora Dudd listened to a Mother's Day sermon, and had the idea of a
"father's day." She wanted to honor her father, William Smart, a Civil War
veteran who'd raised six children by himself on the family farm, after his
wife died in childbirth.
Because his
birthday was in June, Sonora Dodd held the first Father's Day celebration in
Spokane, Washington on June 19th, 1910. President Coolidge supported the
idea of a national holiday in 1924, but it wasn't until 1966 that a
presidential proclamation by President Lyndon Johnson established a national
Father's Day. (And only in 1972 did Richard Nixon sign it into law.)
Of course, every
Dad is different: some crave golf; some would agree that "Golf is a good walk
spoiled" (-Mark Twain.) At The Wentworth we have created some special packages
for the golfer and non-golfer alike with the bonus of special activities or
package-price for Dad.
