Treat dad to food, cars on Father’s Day

With Father’s Day coming up this weekend, you don’t have to scramble about for that last-minute gift.

Ditch the boring tie and get dad what he really wants: time with you.

Round up the gang and get pops out of the house for some food, fun and family QT.

Here are a couple of options:

▪  A Father’s Day Weekend Classic Car Show is from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, June 17, at Touchmark at Meadow Lake Village Golf Course, 4037 E. Clocktower Lane, Meridian.

The show-and-shine event celebrates fathers and their families with classic cars and a barbecue lunch. Also, enter a prize drawing to win a Traeger grill.

Sink your teeth into pork ribs ($7), pulled pork sandwiches ($4) and hot dogs ($2), all served with cole slaw, chips and fruit. And cool off with ice cream cones for a buck.

The event raises funds for the Wyakin Foundation, an independent Idaho-based nonprofit that enables wounded, ill and injured veterans to achieve personal and professional success.

Free to attend. For more information, go to TouchmarkMeridian.com/CarShow.

▪  A Father’s Day Barbecue and Hike is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Sunday, June 18, at The Bishops’ House, 2420 Old Penitentiary Road, Boise.

The shady green yard is the ideal spot to feast on food provided by Goodwood Barbecue.

Work up an appetite with a self-guided tour of the trail prior to lunch or choose to explore it after.

The cost is $15 general and $10 for children.

All proceeds benefit The Friends of The Bishops’ House, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the preservation of the historic home.

Call 342-3279 or go to thebishopshouse.org.
