ARKANSAS
The Nests NWA
As editor of The Scout Guide Northwest Arkansas, it is my honor to offer this guide, a celebration of the people behind exceptional local businesses—the entrepreneurs, makers, artists, and outdoor enthusiasts that make our corner of the state truly magical. The pages that follow serve as an introduction to these unique individuals who call these communities home, and an invitation to learn more about them.
It is my hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with family and friends, but most importantly, use it. Whether you are a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, I hope that this guide helps you engage with the people and places in Northwest Arkansas on a deeper level, and in doing so, helps you enjoy our community to the fullest.
This year I have been joined by the most talented women, committed to serving our members and readers in extraordinary ways. I can’t wait to share the experiences they are creating for our members and readers. Their thumbprints are all over these pages. I couldn’t be more proud.
Finally, I’d like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of the businesses that appear here for being part of the collective that supports this guide. It is a gift to help tell their stories, and I can’t wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year.
Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you!
