Vrrroom, It’s Almost Father’s Day!

Saturday, June 18th, 2011

Good Morning Darlings!

How about this for Dad? Does he love motorcycles? Harley Davidsons? This is for him.

Just like Peter Fonda in Five Easy Pieces!

Atlanta, GA (June 2011)- Looking for something fun to do with Dad to really show him how much he means to you? Come to Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta for a Father’s Day Brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, June 19.

Remind Dad how important he is at the Father’s Day Brunch, where the normal Sunday Brunch menu has been altered to ensure Dad will get his favorite foods. There will be a buffet with two carving stations, mashed potatoes, delicious vegetables and tons of Dad’s favorite manly sides.

Father’s Day shifts into fifth gear as Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson in Conyers will be providing four motorcycles for the event just for Dad’s entertainment! Two motorcycles will be on display at Park 75, and with a valid motorcycle license and proper clothes [long sleeves, long pants and leather shoes], two of these Harley-Davidson motorcycles will be available for test drive with Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson’s Sales and Promotions Director Joseph “Guido” Cardillo.

If you think your dad deserves something special this Father’s Day, give him a unique day that he is sure to remember for years to come! Cost is $65 per person, including complimentary valet parking. For reservations, call (404) 253-3840 or visit www.OpenTable.com.

Oh, I guess you are tuning in to see the answer to Friday’s quiz?

Lets get on with it.
