Director and founder, Nancy Plagge, saw the need for a safe, positive environment for young girls and opened the doors to Studio G in late spring of 2010. Since then girls from both Green Forest and Berryville have enjoyed game nights, scavenger hunts, learning to bake cookies, exercise techniques, manicures, have planted a small vegetable garden with donations from Bonham's Hardware in Green Forest and Barrow's Excavation in Berryville, and have even helped cut down a tree in their backyard.
The girls have helped decorate the interior and clean up the exterior, hoping to someday soon put in a volleyball court and a fire pit for roasting s'mores. A great place to spend time with friends, get involved in a community project, or learn a new skill, Studio G is dedicated to inspiring the girls of Carroll County to have a positive outlook for the future!
