Spring Forward in Amarillo, TX this March 2013

It’s time to spring forward in Amarillo, TX this March 2013 with lots of great community events that are perfect for the whole family. Daylight savings time begins March 10, 2013. And while it’s a fun time of year to get back out and enjoy the community, it is also time to take care of a few things around the house. When the time changes you should also check the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms. If you have any alarms that are older than 10 years, consider replacing them. And, it’s a good time to prepare for spring weather with a home disaster preparedness kit that includes water, food, blankets, batteries, portable radio, and flashlights.

When you’re finished around the house, come out and enjoy the many events in and around Amarillo, TX and spring forward into the season of fun. And, don’t forget that Spring Break week is March 11-15 for students.
