2nd Anniversary Party & Community Open House

Daylight saving time ends today. The real issue? Your evening commute now coincides with peak deer movement.

Here are some things to keep in mind during this time change:

🦌 Deer are unpredictable. A calm deer can suddenly dart into the road with no warning.
🦌 One deer usually means there are more behind them, because deer like to travel in groups.
🦌 Deer are most active at dawn and dusk, so stay alert.
🦌 It's breeding season - when deer move even more than normal.
🦌 If you can't avoid a deer, slow down and don't swerve to minimize damage.
