We held our first Dads' Night Out Tuesday night, hoping for 25 or 30 dads to show up. Invitations from a school father/business-owner (on company letterhead) had gone out with student newsletters. At least 90 Dads came, each of whom brought at least one child. A local tavern furnished pizza and hot wings and the Coca-Cola bottler provided drinks. Santa Claus led the program by reading Krensky's _How Santa Got His Job_, a teacher's husband and son acted out Steig's _Pete's a Pizza_, and two other dads read Pringle's _Octopus Hug_ and _The Night Before Christmas_. Between readings we drew names for door prizes: school t-shirts, books, games, and a personal CD player. (And I have paperback editions of "Dad" books for each attender--but the order was delayed!) The night was covered by two area newspapers and a local TV station. We'll be doing this again in the spring--on the playground instead of in the library!
