Father’s Day is a joyful occasion to celebrate dads and all they mean to us. But for some, the holiday is colored with sadness, a reminder of an important person they lost at a young age. At Laurel Park on Saturday, Carry On Youth Inc. founder Nick Howard said he sought to harness and repurpose his personal loss, creating an event that would have him looking forward to Father’s Day.
