What do the blues and blue butterflies have in common? You’d be surprised! And you can learn at a spectacular, interactive family-friendly event happening over the next 3 weeks. There will even be a special event-within-an-event happening February 4-5.

On Saturday, February 4, the good citizens of one eastern Missouri town will be reeling in the years … as in doing the Virginia reel, the Paddle Dance, Schottische, and other dances from a bygone era. And while they’re kicking up their heels, these revelers will be wearing French colonial costumes.

If you were at Hogwarts with Harry Potter and his pals, which house would you be in? Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, or Slytherin? If you said Slytherin, have we got an event for you to check out his Sunday! 

Missourians love lake living. Whether it’s Lake of the Ozarks, Table Rock, Mark Twain, Taneycomo, or a less big body of water, our state has some stunners. But how can you make the most of lake life? A giant show’s ready to show you!

Does the world really need another chili cook-off? Two Missouri organizations didn't think so. They said “Bean there, done that” and came up with a unique and fun fundraising alternative. Don’t fret, you still get to sample something yummy.

If you like your music tinged with a country twang, you’ll want to boot-scoot boogie your way to MO Country Fest on Saturday, January 14. Some of our states' most promising country crooners will be pickin’ anda grinnin’ at one venue.

After the holidays, many people decide to abstain from alcohol in favor of a sober January. If you decided that this post-partying approach was for you, learn about a weekend that eschews the booze but not the fun.
