Father's Day, Sunday, September 5
Father's Day has crept up on us this year. It's the first Sunday in September when dads get a fresh supply of new socks and jocks. Looking for something a little different this year? Many Border businesses are offering click and collect or delivery services. Eateries and cafes are offering Father's Day grazing boxes. If you've missed the order deadline, buy some local produce and put together your own. Give Dad something to look forward to and support the arts and entertainment sector with a voucher for HotHouse Theatre or a show at Albury Entertainment Centre or The Cube Wodonga.
