## Story

Evansville, IN —The Scout Guide is proud to announce The Scout Guide Evansville & The Tri-State Area. As the newest addition, this guide will serve as the go-to resource for locals to discover, or rediscover, the hardworking local business owners, entrepreneurs, and artists within the community.

Local editor and owner, Brandie Cooley, is currently scouting businesses to showcase the best of Evansville & The Tri-State Area. “I love everything about this community - the people, the history, the food, the shops and the community driven events! It brings me such joy to be able to recognize, celebrate, and advocate for the local business owners doing amazing things in our community. It's my pleasure to introduce them to The Scout Guide network."

Filled with curated and impactful photographs of local businesses, photographed by local photographers Sharin Shank Photography and Kasey Fanton Photography, and printed on high-quality paper, The Scout Guide Evansville & The Tri-State Area will be distributed complimentary at events, in select storefronts, and at hotels and Scouted restaurants.
