7 Father's Day gift ideas in El Paso area
Father's Day is Sunday, June 18, the day to celebrate all the things fathers do for us. They may give advice in a few words, go get your oil changed when needed or maybe they still grill for the whole family.
It's all these things they do year-round without much ado that makes it important to recognize them.
So, here are some ideas to celebrate Dad and make him feel special on his day in the El Paso area.
Dine with Dad at Ardovino's Desert Crossing
Ardovino's Desert Crossing, 1 Ardovinos Drive in Sunland Park, New Mexico, will offer its 17th Annual Fly Fishing Film Tour, featuring a journey of adventure, friendship and the best fly-fishing action at noon Sunday.
