A new year means new things to do around Central Florida, even though you might just be coming off the holiday high of parties and celebrations. We've got a handful of events you won't want to miss this month. They'll help easing back into your regular routine a little more bearable and make for a great start to 2016! 

• Run your way through The Color Run Tropicolor World Tour in Orlando

  You most likely have seen a friend or family member share a fun picture participating in a Color Run, or maybe you've even participated in one yourself. This year, though, whether or not you've done one before, the Tropicolor World Tour is coming to Orlando on Saturday, January 16th, and you won't want to miss it. With this run, you'll want to make sure you plan for a full day of fun. The the start line is its own pre-race party featuring music, dancing, warm up stretching, and giveaways, and a beach party is planned for when the race is done. 

We all know when we have a medical need, it is important we select and work with the right professional to properly address that need. Doctors specialize in different fields – we wouldn't go to a cardiologist to help solve a problem we are having with allergies; we’d go to an allergist, of course.

Similarly, Realtors® have special certifications and designations, too.
