5 reasons why you might want to consider skipping a restaurant on Fatherโs Day
While restaurant reservation books are usually filled for Motherโs Day, there traditionally isnโt as much ink required for those same books on Fatherโs Day, according to one website. Fatherโs Day does see an uptick for restaurant activity, according to Womply, which said the holiday brings in 22% more revenue for restaurants. In fact, only 29% of fathers surveyed said they wanted to be taken out to eat on Fatherโs Day, according to Zagat. While theyโre happy to spoil mothers on their special day and spend money at a restaurant, many fathers said theyโd prefer to keep some money in the bank, Fatherโs Day or no Fatherโs Day. Cooking up some burgers or hot dogs is a joy for many fathers, and Fatherโs Day provides a great excuse to do exactly that.

5 gifts dad doesn't want this year
There are, of course, gifts that no father ever wants to receive; items that bring about the forced smile, the falsely cheery, "Oh, thanks! The necktieIf you're a father, you have no doubt received one of these hypercolored neckbands from your offspring at one time or another. Find Dad a shirt with Pink Floyd or the Rolling Stones on it and he'll wear it proudly. That does not, however, mean that every man wants a Williams-Sonoma nonstick vegetable grilling basket, a fish holder, a remote-operated meat thermometer or a hand-sewn grilling mitt for Father's Day. Picture this: Your sleep-fogged dad stumbles into the kitchen, just enough neurons firing to get him through the coffee preparation routine he's followed for the last 40 years.

Panic erupts at Orlando-area Father's Day event
WILDWOOD, Fla. โ Sumter County investigators are looking for the people who sparked panic outside the gates of a Father's Day car show in Wildwood. The video also captured a woman pulling what appeared to be a gun out of a pouch from around her waist. Sessler said the Father's Day event started more than 50 years ago, in the field across from his home. He said many of them were from outside the Wildwood area, and he said those are the people who caused the trouble. The event organizer told News 6 the violence happened outside the gates of the event, which she said were sealed when the incident took place.

Gift ideas for the handy dad
For the do-it-yourself dad, Father's Day provides the perfect opportunity to stock the garage with a few new toys for his disposal. Yard Work: Aside from lawn-care products, a pressure washer can serve as a useful cleaning tool for those pesky stains on the house or the fence. From tightening a bolt to smoothing a rough edge, these are handy for whatever small task that might come up. On a larger scale, a set of power tools is an option. Remember, you don't have to break the bank finding a gift, but with any luck, whatever you buy should inspire him in his around-the-house projects.
