There are tons of great local events to round out January if youโ€™re on the hunt for something to do. From chili cook-offs to live music and comedy nights, thereโ€™s no shortage of ways to get out and have some fun. And Iโ€™m dying to check out that Loterรญa Train! It sounds like such a fun time.

After our own communityโ€™s winter event last weekend, I left feeling genuinely grateful to live somewhere that stays lively year-round. Even in the middle of winter, weโ€™re still finding ways to gather, get outside, and enjoy whatโ€™s right in our own backyard.

In todayโ€™s Scoop:

๐Ÿคธ Big jumps coming indoors?
โœจ Care that feels calming
๐Ÿถ A suave sidekick awaits
๐Ÿพ Family fun, date nights, and more

๐Ÿคธ๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ A Sky Zone May Be Coming to Cedar Park

1611 Scottsdale Drive, Cedar Park

Our kids are going to be stoked for this one, and the location is great, too. A Sky Zone indoor trampoline park is proposed for Cedar Park, right near The Crossover. Plans filed with the state show a 29,000-square-foot space with trampolines, a cafe and kitchen, party rooms, and lounge areas.

Construction is expected to start in March and wrap up in November. If it all comes together, this would be the first Sky Zone location in the Austin area, adding a brand-new indoor option for active fun (and an easy go-to for birthdays and rainy days).

โœจ Smooth Care in a Calm Setting

10 County Rd 279, Liberty Hill

Clean Slate Waxing Lounge is known for thoughtful care and serious attention to detail. Clients often mention how smooth and professional the experience feels, whether theyโ€™re coming in for waxing, facials, or brow services. The space is clean, relaxing, and easy to settle into.

The team takes time to listen, explain what to expect, and move at a pace that feels manageable. Many visitors leave feeling confident, taken care of, and ready to book their next appointment.

Meet Fabio, a 7-year-old medium mixed breed weighing 37 pounds with charm to spare. This handsome gentleman has plenty of energy and enjoys walks, yard time, and staying active.

Fabio may be a little timid at first, but he warms up quickly and loves spending time with his people. Sweet, loyal, and full of personality, heโ€™s ready to bring a touch of suave to his forever home.

Adoption fee: $250.
