Father’s Day in Bristol, Tennessee
The forgotten parent? Not hardly. Men are men and women are women. We are entirely unique in our own right. We can see the differences in how we celebrate Father’s Day in Tri-Cities.
Fathers in the Tri-Cities
A quick search divulged hardly any mention of any celebratory events or mention of festivities related to Father’s Day. The effort is the same every year. Bristol, Kingsport, and Johnson City alike were not head-over-heels to make fathers the center of attention.
The Bristol Motor Speedway & Dragway advertised a Father’s Day event by getting your dad to the drags for some raw power. The embodiment of many such men revels in the thunder of horsepower. We saw Home Improvement, the sit-com featuring Tim Allen, provide many near-truths which poked fun at our antics. We deserve it.
Celebrating togetherness
If most fathers are like me, they just enjoy being together with family. Their sons, daughters, and wives with them are enough. Spending time with our own parents while they are with us is also treasured, as the meaning grows stronger with age. We also learn to heed their wisdom more often than we did growing up into adults. Time and technology may change, but people remain the same.
