Looking for something a little off the beaten track for Father’s Day activities in Sacramento?<\/p>\n
The annual Sunday holiday falls on June 21, this year.<\/p>\n
Father’s Day was first celebrated<\/a> in 1910 in Washington state, mainly as an offshoot of Mother’s Day, which was established six years earlier by President Woodrow Wilson, History.com said.<\/p>\n But the day honoring dads didn’t become a national holiday until 1972.<\/p>\n Along with the perhaps more traditional picnic, celebratory dinner, hike, round of golf or other family get-together, here are some additional options for spending the day with dad.<\/p>\n Here’s what to know:<\/p>\n Root for the home team<\/p>\n The A’s take on the Los Angeles Angels at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento.<\/p>\n The game begins at 1:05 p.m. Sunday and includes a Hawaiian shirt giveaway<\/a> for the holiday, MLB said.
