We met up with the new owners of Little Twirl to join in on their ribbon cutting ceremony this morning in celebration of the grand re-opening of the beloved Washington County staple!

We discussed plans for the future, as well as what brought them to the decision of purchasing the dairy bar. And good news for Little Twirl lovers: the Big Twirl will remain on the menu. 🍦

Be sure to stop by!
