Does it feels like “Fathers Day” was just here, even though we often cannot believe a whole year went by? All of a sudden we feel like we need to come up with a creative and great way to spend the day. Unfortunately we might also be running out of interesting and fun ways for the whole family to enjoy the day as well.

Lots of people have debated this topic over and over, but some families have solved it rather easily. These people sought out a place that involved a wide variety of things for the entire family and all at the same location and to top it off it is along side a nice lake for enjoying the weather. For example, this location provides a chance to the kids to sit and fish and even get the chance to win a fishing related prize as well. This same location has a play ground for young children just yards away. This location also has a variety of live music playing in the background and you did not have to drive somewhere else to hear if. A good laugh can also be had by watching some crazy blindfolded boat racing that is taking place in the lake as well. While all of this is going on the entire family can also participate in a scavenger hunt that is can produce a cash reward if you find the right egg. Topping all of this off, along with a variety of other things to do, you can also enjoy the chance to be a part of a cultural experience that involves traditional music and dance from two different cultures. This will be a great experience for all involved as this is how great and positive memories are made. This location will provide great value in understanding and appreciation of the differences and similarities that exist between us all. This is what “Fathers Day” for you and your family if you seek it out.

You are probably wondering where can we take dad and what can we do together that is good and fun for the entire family. That place is located in southeastern South Dakota. This location is the park next to Wagner Lake, in Wagner, South Dakota. The event being held is the “605 Unity Jam” and it is being held on “Fathers Day”, Sunday, June 15. Are you looking for a wide variety of food and live music? Are you looking for something the entire family can enjoy with shopping at art & craft vendors, seeing the “Unity Buffalo” art and more? Many families are making it a point “not miss” this event. It is free to attend, just bring a lawn chair and sit back and enjoy great things to hear, eat, to do, see and experience.
