On Saturday, Anime-Fest takes over the Four Points Sheraton Airport hotel in Milwaukee. Admission is $20 but kids 11 and under get in free. Expect a cosplay contest and anime trivia, and you can meet voice actors from shows like Dragon Ball Z and Ed, Edd n Eddy.

And a winter tradition returns Sunday at the Milwaukee County Zoo - it's the 45th annual Samson Stomp and Romp! You can choose from 3 races — a 5k, 2-mile, or 1-mile route to explore the zoo and help support the animals you see. This event honors one of the zoo's most famous and beloved residents, Samson the silverback gorilla. The race will be held rain or shine, snow or cold. However, the zoo does reserve the right to cancel due to severe weather or dangerous conditions.
