The first Dads' Night was
held in the Kenilworth School of Ridgewood New
Jersey in 1944. Over the years, the tradition has
been kept alive by the dads of children who attend
Ridgewood's Somerville and Hawes elementary schools.
This year marks the 64th Anniversary of Dads' Night!
Each year the dads write
their own scripts and songs, play their own music,
design and sew their own costumes, build their own
sets, and put on a musical review for the hundreds
of kids in town.
The funds that are
raised are used to buy special needed "wish list"
items for the schools. Everyone has a good time, and
many long lasting friendships are made. Most
importantly, our children learn that their dads are
committed to them and their lives. Why else would
the dads make such fools of themselves if it weren't
for the love of their children! |
