5 Things You Should Know This Weekend - Feb. 17-19, 2012

1. The weather

The sun will shine today, but we've got a good chance of seeing snow tonight and Saturday. The National Weather Service predicts highs will drop from 41 today to 33 on Sunday, with night-time lows in the upper to low 20s. 

2. Arts opportunities

Take a look at the variety of live performances taking place tonight in Farmington Hills:

• Theater organist Lance Luce performs at First Presbyterian Church of Farmington, accompanying silent movies and leading a sing-along, at 7 p.m.
• The Harrison High and North Farmington High dance companies perform tonight in their annual dance concert. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. in the auditorium at Harrison. 
• The Farmington Players latest production, Whose Wives Are They Anyway?, opens at 8 p.m. In this hilarious story, two husbands send their wives off shopping so they can have a golf weekend, then have to produce wives on short notice when they unexpectedly meet their new boss. 

3. Book sale at the market

Saturday's Old Winery Farmers Market will feature a book sale that benefits the Farmington Community Library and the market. Doors open at 9 a.m., and you can shop until 2 p.m. at the Old Winery/Powerhouse building on Grand River in Farmington. Learn more at theoldwinerymarket.com

4. First Aid/CPR

Certifications meet OSHA standards for emergency care in the workplace and the Michigan Dept. of Education requirement for teacher certification. Cost is $50, and the class is held at 31500 W 13 Mile Rd, Farmington Hills. Check our event listing to learn how to register.
