For a lot of dads, sacrificing for their families is like breathing. Without hesitation, so many dads chose to put their needs last on a daily basis. How many diapers have been changed during a playoff game? How many final cookies have been given away to a wide-eyed son or daughter? How many hours of “Bluey” have played on that beautiful 75 inch TV screen?
June 19th is Father’s Day — a day to recognize those selfless dads who give, give, and give some more and never ask for anything in return.
This year, take some time to hunt down a bona fide Black Hills treat for dad. He deserves it. Here’s some options that will get dad drooling — and they all offer military discounts.
