There are a lot of great events around Ann Arbor this weekend. Make your plans for the weekend with Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks.

Arbor Annie’s Weekend Picks
Fall temperatures are finally here for the weekend. (And I can finally switch to a fall graphic without feeling like it is out of place).
Celebrate apple season with Dexter’s 26th Annual Apple Daze or Green Apple Garden’s Apple Festival. Or head to an apple orchard or cider mill.
Sunday, get into the Halloween spirit with the Halloween Hootenanny at Independence Lake or Haunted Hayrides at Marsh View Meadows. You can also get ready for the season by decorating pumpkins at Pumpkin Fest at Sweetwaters or making a luminary at an ypsiGLOW Workshop.
The Fall Mom2Mom Season continues this weekend with the Saline Rec Center Mom2Mom Sale on Saturday.
When planning your weekend, remember that UM has a home game on Saturday at noon.

A corn maze is always a great fall activity. We’ve done mazes in both day and night. Now that my daughter is older we prefer night time, but when she was younger, daytime mazes were a better choice.
