It’s the first weekend in November. That means it’s time to “Fall Back”. Our clocks officially go back one hour at 2 am on Sunday! That means you get an extra hour this weekend! It’s always a great time to test the batteries in your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Along with going around the house to set all your clocks, there are still plenty of other activities in the West Michigan area this weekend.

Some activities include the kids, while others are more for the adults.
