27 | Thursday, June 16, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com HAPPY Advertorial ' How to make a lasting memory on Father's Day that leaves little exposure to the sun and to the paintballs. Enthusiasts say they recommend something loose and light like a long sleeved t-shirt with a pair of durable pants. VIP Camping We are not talking about regular camping here. Spoil your dad this year with a camping trip ­ VIP style. There are many campgrounds that offer luxury tents and cabins with raised beds to avoid sleeping on an air mattress. Instead of hotdogs and beans, bring steaks and potatoes for grilling on the barbeque. Although this is VIP style, still expect to get a little dirty. To prepare for your trip, bring a pair of hiking boots and a warm hoodie for when the sun goes down. Football Game If your dad enjoys being outside, plan a game of touch football with friends and family in your local park. To keep him feeling fresh all day, surprise him with a Denver Hayes T-shirt which prevents moisture from accumulating. Your dad will appreciate taking in the outdoor air and creating new memories with the ones he loves most. For more information on the products mentioned above, head to marks.com. (NC) How to give the most this Father's Day This year, why not look beyond the standard gift ideas and find new ways to do something special with dad? On Father's Day, if he's the kind of guy to appreciate clever ideas for saving money and saving energy, give him one or more of these thoughtful gifts: 1.) Throw the `coolest' party: Staying cool doesn't require a second fridge or freezer. Consider freezing water bottles to keep refreshments cool instead of using a fridge or freezer. 2.) Unplug: How many times has dad asked you to turn off the TV or put down your phone? Turns out he was right. By shutting down and unplugging electronics such as TVs, PVRs, desktop computers and home phones you can save electricity, even if it's just for the day. 3.) Let there be light: Keeping things bright doesn't have to be expensive. Take dad to the hardware store to buy energy efficient LED bulbs for outdoor lights. Consider investing in solar powered lanterns for the backyard to cut down on spotlight usage. 4.) Hail the grill master: Father's Day is the perfect opportunity for dad to show off his grill skills. Cook more on the barbecue and less in the oven or microwave to reduce energy consumption and your electricity bill. 5.) Out with the old: Replace dad's old electronics or tools with energy efficient and eco-friendly options. Consider going so far as ditching the electric or gas powered mower for the classic manual version. 6.) DIY with dad: Fill the day with DIY activities that can help cut down on energy costs and usage. Install a clothesline to avoid using the dryer and make a DIY in-the-ground fridge to naturally keep your drinks cool. 7.) Hand dad the monkey wrench: Leaky faucets, broken seals on doors and inefficient heating and cooling systems stack up on your energy bill. Be dad's right-hand this Father's Day and get to work around the house. Saving energy equals saving money. That's something you and dad can finally agree on.

Here are some ideas to take your gift-giving to the next level from Mark's, a leader in men's casual wear and footwear: Fishing Surprise dad with an early morning fishing trip. He will appreciate being in the outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of life. Plan ahead and research the best fishing spots in your area ­ perhaps one he hasn't been to before. To ensure he is properly outfitted for fishing, surprise him with a pair of FarWest hiking pants which have eight pockets to store all of his fishing essentials. Cooking Class Even if your dad isn't a foodie, attending a cooking class together is a great way to bond with him. You'll learn how to create a meal that rivals some of your city's best restaurants. Paintball If he loves an adrenaline rush, paintball is a thrilling activity. One rule of thumb is to have very little skin exposure when playing to avoid injuries, so make sure you both dress appropriately for the conditions. Paintball can be muddy and the sun may be hot, so wear clothing FAThER's DAY BRUNCh Fogolars Country Club, Oakville Sunday Jun 16th 1:00 pm ITALIAN ALL YOU CAN EAT GIGANTIC BUFFET MENU Adults........................$35 Kids under 12 yrs......$18 Call us for reservations.
