One night a group of girlfriends were sitting in a restaurant booth during one of their too-few-and-too-far-between girls’ nights out. While sharing their takes on local businesses, Vanessa Brown, Quinn Curtis and Emily Hill stumbled upon a sweet idea: Why not make this happy evening a regular event and why not share it with all their scattered friends? Each Sassy was an accomplished businesswoman in her own right and passionate about supporting neighborhood establishments. The Sassies loved to call, email and tweet each other and knew they could help spread the word about the latest tasty, local flavors. So slide into the booth with us…we’re sharing the scoop with you.
For information on how your company can be reviewed by the Sassies and featured on SassyScoops.com, please email info {at} sassyscoops {dot} com.

Words to live by: “One thing kids like is to be tricked.

I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.” ~ Jack Handy
