This is the local news from June 10 to 16 that you should know to stay up to date and tomorrow you can discuss it with dad. Have a great weekend.
Many are already preparing a barbecue, a barbecue, or simply looking forward to this Sunday, as millions across the country celebrate Father's Day, a celebration that was first proposed by Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, in 1909 and is currently celebrated in the United States annually on the third Sunday in June.
The first celebration was at the Spokane YMCA on June 19, 1910, when Sonora Smart proposed to the Central Methodist Episcopal Church in 1909 that like Mother's Day, fathers should have a similar holiday to honor them, and although she proposed her father's birthday - June 5 - the pastors of the Spokane Ministerial Alliance did not have enough time to prepare their sermons, and the celebration was postponed to the third Sunday in June.
Sonora's father, William Jackson Smart, was a Civil War veteran and a single father raising six children.
