From brisket omelets to gourmet brunch (to spending the night at the Zoo!), we’ve got your holiday covered. By the way, in case you forgot, it’s all happening Sunday, June 20.

If you get the fish, you will be entered to win a propane gas grill (we know you’d give it to your dad right away). Each fisherman only gets five minutes to try and get his prey, so practicing beforehand is recommended.

Grill Daddy Outdoor Grilling Class at Screen Door
Highlights: Is your dad the master of the grill? Or is he more like the master of the charred chicken breast and dried-out ribeye?

Recipes scheduled to be taught include grilled oysters with horseradish, homemade grilled venison sausage, and more. NOTE: This event takes place on June 19.
