Father's Day grazing board

Father's Day is a holiday honouring fatherhood. In 1966 Lyndon Johnson issued a proclamation designating the third Sunday in June to honour fathers. In 1972, president Richard Nixon signed a law declaring that Father's Day be celebrated annually on the 3rd Sunday in June. What better way to celebrate your Dad then by surprising him with an appealing food board.
