Clark’s Ace Hardware in Ellicott City, MD, held a Father’s Day event on Sunday, June 5 that featured fun activities for the whole family including white aprons embroidering with “Dad” in red for kids to decorate.
Items including aprons and art supplies were available for purchase to families for $15 on the day of the event. Templates with easy, child-friendly drawings were provided on tables to help get the kid’s creative juices flowing. Clark’s Ace Hardware also ensured items such as water-resistant paint pens, fading and abrasion were available for use for the children to complete their Father’s Day gifts.
