The February Funk. We’re all familiar. It's when the days are short but the weeks are long. We’re well past the excitement of the holidays, spring is still out of grasp and many of us have already broken our New Year’s Resolutions. February is tough, to say the least.
But not to fear! Lucky for us, there are a plethora of events, shows, and exhibits that will fill your February with FUN. Not to mention, as Missouri REALTORS®, it's important that we experience all of the wonderful things our state has to offer! Here’s a list of events from Kansas City to St. Louis and in between that just might fix your February Funk.
