Father’s Day is this weekend…Have you made any plans to celebrate dad? If you haven’t, fear not, as your friends at Only in Your State have compiled a list of Father’s Day events as unique as your old man! Here are 10 places in Kansas where you can take dad this Father’s Day:

1.) The Athletic Dad: Father’s Day Run (Overland Park)
Father's Day Run
Challenge dad to a friendly bet -- whoever has the best time at the race gets treated to ice cream!
2.) The Car Enthusiast Dad: Father's Day Car Show (Salina)

Treat dad to this automobile enthusiast's dream come true (and visit all your favorite animals at the Rolling Hills Zoo, the location of the Car Show.)
3.) The Farming Dad: Southeast Kansas Old Time Gas Engine and Tractor Show (Pittsburg)

The event takes place the weekend AFTER Father's Day, but is still worth noting since it is an area favorite.
4.) The Geeky Dad: Smallville Comic Con (Hutchinson)

Does your dad dream of meeting Lando Calrissian (whose dad hasn't?) Or does he enjoy playing video games in his spare time? Then Comic Con is the place you gotta go!
5.) The Historian Dad: Washunga Days (Council Grove)

Watch history come to life at this family friendly event featuring shows, parades, and (not really historic, but still fun) carnival rides.
