Remember to fall back on Saturday night for Sunday time change
Daylight Saving Time ends on Nov. 3, so before you go to bed Saturday night move your clocks back one hour.
There have been efforts to get the time change thrown out, but it continues to be in governmental limbo.
What is the future of daylight saving time? On March 15, 2022, the U.S. Senate passed a bill to make Daylight Saving Time permanent. But it will not become law until the House of Representatives votes and the president signs off.
The Sunshine Protection Act, stalled in 2023. A group of senators reintroduced the bill again this year and it has been referred to the Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation to review and it is stuck in committee.
This time change also is a good time to change out the batteries in your smoke alarms to be set for the next year.
The community of Forestburg will host its Christmas in Forestburg events on Dec. 14.
During the day there will be activities in town. From noon to 5 p.m. enjoy corn hole, live music, vendors, food trucks, a hay maze, kid’s activities and a fudge and wreath contests.
There is a chili cookoff from noon to 1 p.m., books with Mrs. Claus at 2:30 p.m., photos with Santa at 3 p.m., a tree lighting at 6 p.m. followed by a lighted parade at 7 p.m.
A dance at the city fire hall will wrap up the day after the parade.
Sunset artists Roger Whitaker and his wife, Rachel, continue to work on a new mural going up in downtown Nocona. Located on the south wall of the Gibbs Drug Store, the mural will represent Comanche Chief Peta Nokoni, for whom Nocona is named. Building owners Rusty and Carolyn Fenoglio along with several other business owners and residents sponsored the commission and worked closely with Tales ‘N’ Trails Museum to get the historical background, including verifying the correct name spelling.
