What a special treat to have two strong women from Southern Anne Arundel County to talk with Gretchen and I about all the awesome things SoCo has to offer.

Jenn Schiavone is the owner operator of one of the best consignment shops for women that I have ever been to called The Blue Herron and Julia is the President of the Southern Anne Arundel County Chamber of Commerce.

Take a trip to Shady Side, Deale, Churchton, West River and more to see what all the small town hype is all about.
