About Father’s Day:
The first event that honored Fathers was held in West Virginia in 1908 to honor 362 men who died during a coal mine accident. The idea of an official day to celebrate fathers was thought up by Sonora Smart Dodd who is credited as the official founder of the national holiday known as Father’s Day. The first official Father’s Day event was held in Spokane, Washington in 1910.
In 1916 President Woodrow Wilson praised Spokane for its Father’s Day Services, over time the idea of Father’s Day grew popular and more presidents spoke out about their support for it. During WWII, many retailers promoted Father’s Day to honor American Troops and by the time millions of American fathers returned home from WWII, it was celebrated nationwide. In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed an executive order declaring the third Sunday of June as Father’s Day.
Finally, In 1972, President Richard Nixon established a nationwide observation of Father’s Day. Just six years later, Sonora Smart Dobb died at 96 years old and saw her idea become a reality.

Bear Walker Custom Skateboards:
My husband has been skateboarding since he was 8 years old. He is a very avid skater and has a passion for unique boards. Bear Walker is a renowned craftsman who is a famed skateboard maker, artist, comic book and video game lover, and superhero fanatic. He has been featured in HypeBeast, The New York Times, and Forbes.
He offers Marvel, Invader Zim, Pokemon, and even custom designs. The company has grown from producing just a couple thousand boards each year to averaging about 35,000 annually, with a price range of $200 to $300. These premium collector items are unique in their complete lack of grip tape (the only boards in the world to offer this.) Instead of grip tape, the wood itself is carved strategically for ultimate traction and a statement design. As a result, each board is truly one of a kind. Bear Walker boards are made with only the highest quality maple ply.
You can tell Bear is very passionate about his business and skateboarding.
Price:$200-$300.
