Do you love January? 

Not to be negative... but I'm not the biggest fan.😏

The month feels super long and the days are super short. I live in my jacket most of the time but try to remain positive by saying, "At least the sun's out!" when I can't feel my fingers or toes.  Anyone else? 🙋‍♀️

However we're already halfway through!  (See... always positive!)

And what helps me make January go faster is looking forward to something! 

So if you aren't living at the hockey rink, ski hill or have a senior on the high school dance team, I have a list of 10 events, places or things to do to get you excited about January - And before you know it warmer temps will be here!

Whether it's walking through the galleries, taking a pottery class or getting on stage there is so much you can do and be part of at one of the best kept secrets in Hudson.  

The Phipps is a great place to get involved and volunteer behind the scenes or take advantage of all the great opportunities that are for the public.
