LIMA, OH (WLIO) - It was "The Father's Day Weekend Fishing Derby" over at Faurot Park Saturday morning.
Allen County Commissioner Beth Siebert adds, “I thought this would be a great opportunity for us to showcase our dads. Because I truly believe that none of us are here in these seats and in service of Allen County without the influence and support of our dads.”
The Ottawa Metro Park and Campground seemed to be the quiet spot that many dads and granddads chose to spend their day at. Picnics were taking place under the shelters, campers were set up, and people were casting lines all day. We asked a couple dads what it means to them to be celebrating Father’s Day.
Father’s Day is just around the corner, and you may still searching for that perfect gift for dad. Well, we set out to see what hot ticket items were flying off the shelf for this Father’s Day.
