Daylight Saving Time begins at 2 a.m. Sunday, so remember to set your clocks ahead an hour, or you’ll be late for some of the fun going on this weekend.

First, a couple of things worth heading to Seattle for:

The Seattle Bicycle Expo is Saturday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m to 4 p.m. at Smith Cove Cruise Terminal 91. The expo includes talks by cyclists, demonstrations, activities for kids and a photo contest. Admission is cash only and $10 for a single day or $12 for both. Kids under 15 get in free.

Emerald City ComiCon: Leonard Nimoy, Wil Wheaton and Stan Lee are among the luminaries who will be at the two-day comic book and pop culture convention. It’s at the Washington State Convention Center from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, plus an after-hours masquerade starting at 6:30 p.m. Saturday. Tickets are $25 for Saturday only, $20 for Sunday only or $35 for a two-day pass.

Closer to home, we have:

The Cascade Mountain Men Muzzle Loading Arms and Pioneer Craft Show at the Evergreen State Fairgrounds in Monroe. See historic firearms and crafts and demonstrations of blacksmithing, wool-spinning, weaving and wood-carving. 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is $5 for adults; kids 12 and under get in free.

The first Snohomish Wine Festival, which will feature 19 Northwest wineries and food prepared by Snohomish restaurants. The festival is from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday at A Manor of Wine, 610 First St. Tickets are $35 at the door.

Finally, the Silvertips play their final two home games of the regular season against Seattle at 7:35 tonight and against Chilliwack at 7:05 Saturday night .

It’s a busy weekend out there. Have fun!
