Arbor Annie's Weekend Highlights 
February 27-March 1

This weekend is the annual Brick Bash. It is also the start of March. UM Spring Break also starts this weekend.
 
This weekend’s big event is Brick Bash at Skyline High School. We love attending the event each year. It is on both Saturday and Sunday.
Ann Arbor Area LEGO Activities, Events Camp & More - girl sits in a pile of LEGO  while building
But, first kick off the weekend by Meeting Cinderella & Belle at The Little Seedling or Nerf Wars at Saline Rec Center.
 
Saturday is the annual Washtenaw County Ice Carving Festival at County Farm Parks. It looks like Sunday would have been a better day since it is forecast to stay under freezing vs. a high of 42 on Saturday.
 
Theater this weekend includes 12 Angry Jurors by Saline Area Players and Frozen Jr by Pickney Players Jr Theater. Plus, Saturday is `Battle of the Bands at Neutral Zone.
