Opening Night? Should Be KindaGood!

Admission for this event is by wristband only so be sure to pick one up! Want to know more about Danny Kinda? Visit his website. Bring your own nectar as there may not be enough to go around.

Daylight Savings Time Reminder

Ever wonder why we have Daylight Savings Time? It was first proposed in England in 1905 but it was not put into use there until 1916. The US didn't come around until 1918. (How long until we use the metric system?) It was originally conceived in an effort to maximize use of summer daylight but the idea of energy conservation soon took the forefront. Recently in the US, DST was lengthened by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The federal government may choose to extend the legislation or go back to the original dates after completion of a energy consumption study.

Regardless of why it exists, DST will begin on Sunday, March 9th at 2 a.m. That is the second day of play of weekend one of Crossroads. Be sure to remember to "spring forward" that day so you won't miss a play or officiating assignment that day!
