Keep Cabin Fever away with these fun winter activities!

As the winter starts growing colder it can get tough to find reasons to get out and have fun, but there is still plenty going on around Clay for you to get out and enjoy! Here’s a list of some of the events and happenings coming to Clay throughout the remainder of the winter months.

January can often get pretty chilly in Clay, but there is still fun to be had in our local communities. Bundle up on the first Monday of the year and head down to Historic Downtown Liberty where you can catch live jazz at Corbin Theatre from 5:30 to 7:30; Jazz on the Square is a yearly event that you can experience it January 6^th, February 3^rd, and March 2^nd this winter.  For more downtown fun, plan a trip to Downtown Excelsior Springs January 10^th, 11^th, or 12^th for Seconds Weekends! In addition to extended store hours, Second Weekends feature art, music, entertainment, and more! This event is scheduled for the second weekend of every month, so there are plenty of opportunities to join in on the fun.

Scheduled for January 30^th from 5:00-8:00, Girls’ Night Out promises to provide an evening full of fashion, food, friends, and fun!

February in Clay offers delicious opportunities to enjoy a popular treat; chocolate! Plan a day in Excelsior Springs February 8^th for their annual Chocolate Tour. Sample chocolates while you shop around town; tickets to the event would make a great gift for Valentine’s Day! For more chocolate, Kearney’s Wine & Chocolates Tour is a decadent event that is perfect for the season.

At the tail end of winter, March can still be pretty chilly in Clay! If you’re looking for a great way to warm up and work off some of the holiday goodies you may have indulged in this winter, then the Liberty Hospital Half Marathon/Jewell 5k may be the perfect event for you! This exciting event is scheduled for March 7^th and is one of the fastest-growing races in the Kansas City area!
