Kin or not, the caring dad in your life deserves special treatment. Maybe he raised you or even looks after you now. Perhaps he is a father figure to turn to when you’re in need. Whether he dotes on you or your kids, he means more to you than a card and a meal can express this Father’s Day on Sunday, June 20, 2021. Instead of the same ole same ole, try something new — like a Pigeon Forge vacation in the Great Smoky Mountains.
