Daylight saving time was first established in the U.S. by Congress after the Calder Act, or the Standard Time Act of 1918, was passed more than 100 years ago and was more recently amended with the Energy Policy Act of 2005.
Don’t be early for whatever you have planned for Sunday!
Halloween is an annual celebration on October 31st with origins in the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which later merged with Christian observances like All Hallows' Eve. Modern traditions include wearing costumes, trick-or-treating, carving pumpkins (jack-o'-lanterns), and decorating. The holiday has evolved to incorporate both a spooky cultural theme and spiritual meanings related to transformation and the afterlife.
This Friday, 10/31, we’ll be hosting a first-round matchup in the 3A playoffs, and we want to start the evening with some extra excitement! We’re inviting community members to take their motorcycles for a lap around the track before kickoff to help set the tone for the night.
If you’d like to participate, please scan the QR code on the flyer to sign up and fill out the Google form. Additional details will be shared via email. Space is limited sign up soon!
Let’s make it a night to remember — Go Tigers! 🏈🔥
