Welcome to the weekend.

It'll be a chilly one but let's be honest, it is winter so that's to be expected.

To warm up, you could head to Fergus to enjoy putting together a massive 42,000-piece puzzle (read our story about the puzzle), maybe hit the Edelweiss Tavern for the Canadian Cornhole Championships, head into the Idea Exchange's Old Post Office location to create your own 3D puzzle or even check out your favourite pub or local brewery for some live music — many offer great musicians in an intimate setting.

Little Medical School Open House

1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 12

Downtown Community Centre, 35B Weber St. W., Kitchener

This free, fun family event will have children dressing up as doctors, learning how the body works and checking out the tools real physicians use in their work. There's hands-on demonstrations and a craft. It's being organized by the Little Medical School — an educational program by the region to teach children about medicine, science and health — and the Downtown Neighbourhood Alliance. Organizers say it'll be an "edu-taining" time.

Winter Scavenger Hunt

1 p.m. to 2 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 12

Huron Natural Area, 801 Trillium Dr., Kitchener

Don't let the seasonal temperatures keep you inside. Head outside for a hike. At this event, grab a scavenger hunt list from the picnic shelter and search for the items listed. Just be sure to go to the washroom before you arrive as those facilities aren't open in the winter.

Homecoming Kings: A Stand-Up Comedy Tour

8 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 12

The Ebar, 37 Quebec St., Guelph

Comedians Dylan Gott and Peter White bring their Ontario tour to Guelph. It's sure to be a night full of laughs with this duo, they've performed around the world and both have been nominated for multiple Canadian Comedy Awards.

Watch this video with Dylan Gott (warning: language may be offensive to some):

You can also visit Guelph this weekend for the continuation of Music Weekends in the downtown core with Son De la Guayra performing Saturday afternoon and Steve Strongman on Sunday.

UW Cheerleading Worlds Showcase Fundraiser

7 p.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday, Jan. 13

Physical Activities Complex at the University of Waterloo, 200 University Ave. W., Waterloo
