Today's modern Father's Day was invented by Sonora Smart Dodd, born in Creston, Washington, who was also the driving force behind its establishment. Her father, the Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, was a single parent who raised his six children in Spokane, Washington. She was inspired by Anna Jarvis's efforts to establish Mother's Day. The first June Father's Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910, in Spokane, WA, at the Spokane YMCA. We would be honored if you would join us for lunch or dinner on this amazing occasion.
It is a beautiful day in Estes Park! For a very special Father's Day we are serving Beef Stew and Corn Chowder. Our muffins are Banana Butterscotch, Green Onion Cream Cheese and Honey Wheat Bread. We hope to see you on this special day.
