My Dad turns 80 today!
Cabela’s is celebrating ALL the Dads!
This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic
My Wonderful Father is 80 today!
No, that must be wrong! This is a man who wears no glasses, can lift his own weight, and only takes one pill a day! Doesn’t he look more like a 65 year old? (Please say yes, because that would make me 38 and I am all over that number!)
Let me just brag about my wonderful father for a minute. With it being his birthday and so close to Father’s day, I feel like I am allowed to go on and on a bit. Dad was an excavator his whole life with his own business. He worked so hard each day, laying pipe and managing a crew of men. As we are from Michigan, he worked in the hot hot heat and the dead winter cold.
Not only was he a great provider for our family even during hard times, he always had time to play with us and work with us. He and I spent three years down at our barn building soap box derbies and another few months finishing and painting my first big-girl car. We always went snowmobiling and sledding in the winter and spent time shooting in our backyard (an open area) in the summer. My dad would often take my brother and go with his brother and father to the local gun club to shoot skeet. Sometimes, even I would get to go along.

What do you get the “Perfect Father” for his birthday or Father’s day?
Do you struggle with what to get your father or husband for Father’s Day? Do they not need very much? Or want very much? Or have everything? Or can afford to buy whatever they want, leaving you with nothing to buy? I can see a lot of you nodding your head here! I mean this is what my husband Walt likes to spend his time doing (he won’t admit it though):
Walt cutting the concrete sidewalk before he levels the entire slab. Quite an engineering feat!

Sadly, my dad passed away in July of last year. I was very blessed to be able to spend last Father’s Day with him. My dad liked fishing and hunting in his younger days. He once shot a moose with a .22! 🙂 Good memories… and ready to make some good memories with my family. My kids and I would truly love to see my husband get the Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite Window Smoker… He would be so happy! I know it’s one of the things on his wishlist. He’s big into hunting and fishing and is a good dad. He takes the kids out fishing, and our son hunting in the fall. 🙂 This would be awesome!
Hi Kathleen, thanks for sharing the wonderful memories of your father. The Chief Blonde
I would like to get the Cabela’s Men’s Rain Gust Jacket for my husband, he works outside and this would be great in the spring weather
I would love to win the GC for Cabelas and get the “Eagle’s Camp Family Voyager 8 person tent” for my MAN, and the Dad of our house 🙂
We have wanted to go on a camping trip for a while, and purchasing a tent has been on the “to-do” list!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!! 🙂
My husband has wanted to go fishing for a long time…so I’d get him a fishing rod and reel. Not that I know which one is best!
I’d really like to get my dad a kayak. We used to go kayaking all the time and I think he’d really love it..
My son’s godfather loves fishing, so I’d want to buy him the Abu Garcia fishing combo here: hcabelas.com/product/Home/Rod-Reel-Combos-Sale-2015%7C/pc/105625080/c/414169380/Abu-Garciareg-Silver-Max-Casting-Combo/1342317.uts?destination=%2Fbrowse.cmd%3FcategoryId%3D414169380 – it’s not too expensive, but it’s one of the most recommended products in the fishing combos! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to get mu husband a new fly rod like this Cabela’s Stowaway 6 Fly Rods for Father’s Day because we are moving to Montana and he is super excited to start fishing again.
My husband loves guns so I would go with the Remington bolt action rifle, he would love it.
I would love to be able to get my husband some camping gear! He has really been wanting to take our daughter and we literally have no camping gear!
I’d like to buy my husband a Smith and Wesson because he’s been wanting one.
The Rainy River Parka would be perfect. Dad loves to travel and easy to pack and useful stuff is perfect.
twitted this today, 03/06, sure do like to shop there, just down I35
All the Dads in my family love Cabela’s. Come to think of it, so do most of the Moms and the kids! On a special hunting trip a few years ago, my son-in-law and his Dad made a 300-mile side trip just so they could shop in the actual Cabela’s store after shopping their catalog for so many years. When they got back, they talked more about Cabela’s than about the elk they shot!
My husband has been talking about getting a new bow for a few years, so I think that Cabela’s Credence Camo Compound-Bow Package Powered by BOWTECH would be perfect for him!
I would love to get the Remington® Model 783™ Bolt-Action Rifle! What a great bargain!!!
I would love to get some
Cabela’s XPG™ Mid GORE–TEX® Hikers at Cabela’s
Cabela’s XPG™ Mid GORE–TEX® Hikers. My husband and I love to walkthrough the woods for hours. These would really help him.
My husband would love the Masterbuilt Smoker, and so would I, come to think of it…I’m good with him cooking meals,lol.
I’d love to get him a Champion 3500 Watt Generator Weekender Package, to use at our camp. He could then do some renovating, with power tools!
Thanks so much for this Wonderful Giveaway! I would love to win this for my Hubby’s Father’s Day & Birthday Gifts! He’s into guns, fishing, golf, and so many other things and this would be absolutely perfect for him! Thanks so much for giving me the chance! I truly do appreciate it! Thanks, Michele 🙂
I would love to give my dad the window smoker. He’s the glue that holds the entire family together. He’s my rock and my hero. I think he would really enjoy a smoker.
