This guide is a celebration of the amazing people behind exceptional local businesses, the entrepreneurs, makers, and designers on the Florida Suncoast who have followed their passions and share a commitment to our special community. 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 our most sincere hope that this book will inspire discovery. Browse it, display it, share it with your friends and family, but most importantly, use it! Whether you’re a visitor, newcomer, or longtime local, we hope that this guide helps you engage with the people from Sarasota, Anna Maria Island, and Boca Grande on a deeper level, and in so doing, helps you enhance your life and enjoy your community to the fullest.

Finally, we’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all of the businesses for being part of the united collective that supports this guide. It is an honor to help tell their inspiring stories, and we can’t wait to share more about them online throughout the coming year on social media @TSGSarasota.

Thank you for using this guide, and when you connect with these incredible businesses, please tell them The Scout Guide sent you!

All of our best and much love,

Nikki Logan Curran & David Warren Curran
