Don't Get The January Blues-There's Lots to Do This Month in the Area!

January can sometimes bring on the blues. The holidays are over and we're in the thick of winter, but it doesn't have to be that way. There are so many cool things to do in the Capital Region this month, so don't miss out! First up, Van Gogh, the Immersive Experience continues at the Schenectady Armory. I have already seen the show the twice and will definitely go back again. (See my video below). The show is running through February 26th, so go see it...it's amazing
