10 Ways to Spend Time with Dad this Father’s Day

Take Dad bowling and the whole family can determine who can knock down the most pins. Stop by Kings Entertainment and Dining for a meal and then bowl or visit Franklin Lanes for a traditional bowling alley feel. And you’ll get the bowling shoes at both places.

The Masters & Makers Trail is a great way to spend time with dad while also enjoying the beauty of the Williamson County countryside. The trail includes Arrington Vineyards, Mantra Artisan Ales, Mill Creek Brewing Company, H Clark Distillery, and Leiper’s Fork Distillery. You will be able to immerse yourself in the local culture while savoring the distinct, locally made flavors at each of the stops that dot the more than 70 miles of the trail. You may not be able to hit all of the stops on the trail but it would make for a scenic afternoon in Williamson County. Before planning your trip be sure to check the availability of each maker, most are open on Saturday but few are open on Sunday.
