Last minute lunch or dinner plans and gift ideas for dad
By Kirra Livingstone
WHETHER you are celebrating Father’s Day with your dad, remembering your father, or spending time with your parental figure, it is a day of honouring those who helped you grow up. The Glasshouse Country and surrounds region has a wide range of celebratory offers to help acknowledge who you call ‘dad’.
Club Glasshouse is giving every dad who buys lunch or dinner on Father’s Day, September 1, a free schooner of beer. They will also have a member’s raffle to win Glassie vouchers worth $300. Dave Barrie will bring live entertainment to the dining room from 1:30pm to 5pm.
Club Glasshouse general manager, Geoff Martin, said Father’s Day is a moment to remember the great job dads do every day. “I think it’s just important to celebrate dad, give him the day just like we do for mums as well, appreciating what they’ve done for us,” he said. “It’s important to let them know how much we appreciate them and that’s what we always do for our community, is to create these events.”
Geoff added that Club Glasshouse would love to see locals pick their venue to celebrate with their dads. “Choosing Club Glasshouse for Father’s Day because everyone knows us, we’re all about community, we’ll have the playground there, we’ve got the live music for the parents and the children to enjoy,” Geoff said. “It’s a day for everyone, it’s like our classic day on the green but its to symbolise dads and how much we love them.”
Over at Beerwah Hotel, they are offering a special Father’s Day menu, featuring two entrees, mains and desserts, and including a delicious mixed grill. The Glasshouse Tavern also have a limited edition menu for dads, including a roasted camembert entree, three mouth watering mains, and one dessert. If you’d rather do an activity with your father figure and skip the sit down meal, head over to the Maleny Golf Club for a hit! Whether you’re a pro or a beginner, it’s a great game to play with your loved ones, bonding as you finish playing each hole. The general manager, Stephen Porter, just travelled over to Paris to watch his debut Olympian son, Nic Porter, compete in the Australian Water Polo team. Talk about a power father and son duo!
If your dad is into power tools, gardening or anything in between, drive down the range and visit Mitre 10 Maleny. They are providing a range of handy presents for dads this September, including toolboxes, pressure washers, and even a tradie heated hoodie. Mitre 10 Maleny even have grilled pizza ovens in stock for $179… it gives dad an excuse to cook his Father’s Day lunch! For any last minute novelty gifts, stop in at Bargain Max located in the Beerwah Village, and Deals and Dollars on Simpson Street, Beerwah.
