Happy Daylight Savings weekend. If you are anything like me you probably didn't realize we advance clocks an hour on Sunday, March 10, at 2 a.m. With phone and digital watches that do all the work for me, I typically don't realize until the day before.

The list of events is quite diverse and ranges from rodeo and barbecue to art and sunset concert. There is sure to be at least one event to add to your weekend plans for the whole family.
