Greetings!
With the start of August comes busy schedules for families with kids going back to school. Take the time to still unwind on the weekends and enjoy some of the fun family activities that are planned for the month of August (take a look at Upcoming Events). Take comfort, though, in knowing that even though life may be back to a hectic schedule, the start of August also means Fall is right around the corner and with Fall comes the start of football season, fall parties, and cooler weather!
We welcome you to escape for a weekend getaway at your home away from home, the Fairview Inn. We have many Fall specials that we are going to be unveiling and even a much anticipated package for the New York Times Best Seller, The Help, by Kathryn Stockett.

| Message From the Innkeepers | |  Sophia's Restaurant
As you may have heard, recently the Jackson City Council voted to adopt new zoning for Bed & Breakfasts in Jackson. Under this zoning, we may now apply for a new use permit to allow Sophia's Restaurant to operate. We appreciate all of the support from the community and the kind words that we have been hearing from all of our patrons. Sophia's will continue to remain open for business. We welcome you to dine with us for lunch or dinner or Sunday brunch and taste some of the Chef Jason's delicious creations. Again, we thank you for all of your continued support and well wishes. All of the long hours and effort we put into creating a special experience for our guests is validated by your expressions of appreciation for what the Fairview provides for the community.
