8 Independent & Free Press, Tuesday,May 18, 2010 Head for the Hills A perfect place to celebrate Father's Day Weekend! by Lois Fraser People who live in Halton Hills say that they live here because it is safe, beautiful and "a great place to raise a family". It's why my parents moved here in 1955 and it's why I stayed here to raise my own family. It's why people move to our town and it's the reason why they stay. And it's the reason why Halton Hills is the perfect place to hold a Big DADDY Festival! The first annual Big DADDY Festival is a giant Father's Day weekend festival with 50 Dad related activities to choose from. The festival is the brainchild of the Halton Hills Cultural Roundtable, which was on a mission to find a signature event for Halton Hills. They discovered that no town in Ontario was celebrating Dads in a big way...unbelievable, but true! From that seed, the Big DADDY Festival was born. Now, people from Halton Hills and surrounding areas can spend a day or spend the whole weekend celebrating Dad. It's sometimes hard to think of ways to honour our Dad, or the significant man in our life who is like a Dad to us, on his special day. Whether yours is a sports loving Dad, an outdoorsy Dad, a music loving Dad or all three....we've got it covered! Choose from an amazing list of activities: See a Classic Car show with over 260 cars, tour the gardens of Sheridan Nursery, attend a "Beatles" concert, enjoy food and beer sampling in the Chill Zone, build a boat with your family (yes, a boat!), climb into a fire truck, enter a fishing derby, learn about fly fishing, walk along our Arts Walk, meander peacefully along the Bruce Trail, play street hockey, eat lunch or dinner at charming cafes and restaurants, win an arm wrestling match...the possibilities are endless. The best part is.......besides entertaining Dad and showing him how loved and appreciated he is, he will be giving YOU the gift of time spent with him...just what every family REALLY wants! Great memories of having fun with Dad....seeing him smile. We know that it will last much longer than the thrill of a new drill, a round of golf or a new tie. Come celebrate your special guy in a way that will thrill the whole family. This exciting event will be will be held on Sat. June 19 and Sunday June 20.
