GAINES – Laura Bentley, owner of Fairhaven Inn & Events, welcomed local officials in celebrating the grand opening of Fairhaven on Tuesday.
Bentley has turned the former Tillman’s Village Inn into an events center. The restaurant and bar continue at the site as the Tavern on the Ridge, run by Chad Pike and Julia Hopkins.
Bentley was joined at a ribbon cutting by Darlene Hartway, Chamber of Commerce executive director, and local officials from Orleans County Legislature and local towns. After the ribbon cutting, the officials held their meeting at Fairhaven for the Orleans County Association of Municipalities.
The Orleans County Legislature and State Assemblyman Steve Hawley’s both resented certificates to Bentley for opening Fairhaven Inn & Events. Bentley is hugged by Lynne Johnson, the Orleans County Legislature chairman. Legislator John Fitzak is in back.
