UPDATED 2023: 11 local Father's Day gift ideas he will love

Father's Day is just around the corner, and if you're still looking for the perfect gift, look no further! Here are eleven great local Father's Day gift ideas that will show Dad how much you care.

#1. If he loves barbecue, consider a gift certificate to his favorite barbecue restaurant. WE know The Improper Pig @ Fort Mill is a favorite of many dads!

#2. If he's into fitness, how about buying you and him a membership at Anytime Fitness in Fort Mill? I'm sure with a workout buddy, you'd both have some healthy fun.

#3. If your dad loves to read, consider buying him a new book or a gift card to BAM! Books-A-Million in Rock Hill.

#4. Is he a beer lover? There's no place quite like Amor Artis Brewing in Fort Mill to quench his thirst! Why not treat you both?

#5. Does he like fishing? Well, there's nothing like a day out on the water, and our area has plenty of choices. You could check out the shores of Lake Wylie or look at Lake Haigler, which is located inside Fort Mill's Anne Springs Close Greenway. Lots of options there, and if you have the gear, it's an inexpensive and fun way to spend time with Dad!

#6. Is he a movie fan? How about checking out a movie at the Regal Manchester in Rock Hill? You can buy him a gift card or, better yet, let him choose the movie and go together!

#7. A great gift idea for a daredevil dad would be a race car experience at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. You could get him a ride-along which starts at $79 or the Supercar Experience, which starts at $249 for 4 laps.

#8. Now this may feel really out there, and it is really out there, but what about a hot air balloon ride? You can fly at Eagles Wings Hot Air Balloons in Rock Hill.

#9. Maybe try something totally outside his comfort zone and take him to The Greenway Stables at Anne Springs Close Greenway. They offer over 12 miles of equestrian trails with guided trail rides, private and group lessons, and more!

#10. Getting back to the water, you could rent a luxury pontoon boat for some quiet time out on the lake through Lake Wylie Boat Rental. They offer full and half-day prices.

#11. Does he love seafood? Well, then, you must get him a gift card to Saltwater Markets in Fort Mill. They also carry quality meat for those Dads, not into the seafood scene.

Hopefully, one of these eleven local Father's Day gift ideas helped those who were still looking for the perfect Father's Day gift! Have a great day with your Dad, no matter what!

The Importance of Animal Rescue: Why the Humane Society of York County Deserves Your Support

The Linda Hall Team of Century 21 First Choice is proud to be a strong supporter of the Humane Society of York County. Our team believes that all animals deserve to be treated with kindness and respect, and that by supporting the Humane Society we can help make this a reality. Here are some reasons why YOU should support this wonderful organization. 

To help the Humane Society of York County provide a safe and loving environment for homeless, abused, and neglected animals.

The Humane Society of York County is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a safe and loving home for homeless and neglected animals in the community. The society works to provide a safe haven for these animals while they wait for their forever homes. 

They provide medical care, shelter, and rehabilitation to the animals in their care.

Animal shelters are a beacon of hope for our four-legged friends. They provide medical care, shelter, and rehabilitation to the animals in their care, giving them a second chance at life. These organizations work tirelessly to ensure that all animals have access to healthcare and compassionate caretakers. By supporting animal shelters, we are helping create a better world for all living creatures.

They promote responsible pet ownership and seek to reduce the number of unwanted animals through spaying/neutering.

Responsible pet ownership is essential to reducing the number of unwanted animals in our society. Thankfully, many organizations are working hard to promote this concept through spaying and neutering programs. These initiatives are focused on lowering the population of pets, providing them with better health care and improving their quality of life. Through these efforts, fewer animals will be euthanized and placed in shelters, allowing them to find a loving home more quickly.

The organization strives to find permanent homes for all of their animals and keep them from being euthanized. 

Every animal deserves a loving home. The organization dedicated to finding homes for animals is doing its part to ensure that animals can live in a safe and comfortable environment. Working hard to keep animals off the streets and away from being euthanized, they strive to find permanent homes for all of their furry friends. With the help of generous donations and volunteers, this organization is helping make a difference in the lives of countless animals.

They provide education to the public about humane treatment of animals, animal welfare, and responsible pet ownership. 

Animal welfare organizations work tirelessly to spread the message of humane treatment of animals, animal welfare and responsible pet ownership. Through educational programs, events and initiatives, these organizations strive to create a world where all animals are respected and treated with kindness. These organizations provide a valuable service to the public by educating them on how to properly care for animals, what their rights are and how to be an active participant in protecting animal rights. With their knowledge and resources, they can help build a more compassionate future for all creatures great and small.

The organization operates a volunteer program that provides opportunities for people to give back and help animals in need.

Volunteering is an amazing way to make a positive impact in the world, and that’s why this organization operates a volunteer program. Their program provides opportunities for individuals to give back and help animals in need. Through volunteer activities such as building shelters, providing food and supplies, and helping with medical care, volunteers can make a difference in the lives of these animals.

Donations help the Humane Society of York County provide food, shelter, medical care and other necessities for the animals in their care.
