This weekend is much needed and highly anticipated. The weather has been wacky, many of us are still looking to recover from the time change last weekend, and St Patrick's Day kicks off the weekend, which is a great way to start any weekend. To add to all of this, much of the area will be on spring break next week, meaning this weekend is the beginning of the break. With a holiday and the beginning of spring break, there are many events taking place this weekend, and here are some to attend to get you out of the house.
