What happened in Fairmont, West Virginia, on July 5, 1908?Aren't y'all glad that we all got these trivia style daily calendars for Christmas?
UPDATE
The answer in "invisi-script"...
A special church service memorialized the fathers among some 350 West Virginia coal miners who had died in an accident the previous December; many consider the observance to have been the first formal celebration of Father's Day. The holiday was not officially established until 1972, when President Richard Nixon signed it into law. (It is observed on the third Sunday in June, however, not in July.)
