    Traverse City is buzzing with activity this weekend, offering a variety of events for locals and visitors alike. The annual Suds & Snow event is taking place today at Timber Ridge RV & Recreation Resort. Attendees will embark on a scenic half-mile hike through the backwoods to reach a winter wonderland setting, where they'll be greeted by over 20 beverage vendors and two food trucks. Early Bird VIP tickets are available for those looking for an extra special experience.

    For art enthusiasts, the "Small Expressions" exhibit, presented by the Handweavers Guild of America, is on display, showcasing contemporary small-scale works. Meanwhile, food lovers can still catch the tail end of Traverse City Restaurant Week, which wraps up tomorrow. This is a great opportunity to sample some of the best culinary offerings in the area at special prices.

    In local news, the Traverse City Planning Commission has voted to advance a proposed amendment to the R-2 mixed density residential zoning district to the City Commission. This change could potentially impact housing density in certain areas of the city.

    Sports fans might be interested to know that the Leapin' Leprechaun 5k race is taking place today. Starting and ending near Brady's Bar on Union Street, the race is not only a fun event but also supports a good cause, with proceeds being donated to Munson Medical Center's new Family Birth and Children's Center.
