 The Help Premier 
Recently, The Help, written by Kathryn Stockett, premiered at Malco Grandview in Madison, MS. This was the first premier to ever have been held in Mississippi. The premier was a way for The Help producers, staff, and cast to give back to the community where most of the movie was filmed- Greenwood, MS (for their Baptist Town Community Development; a historic African-American community in Greenwood). Tickets were available for purchase to the general public and the Fairview Inn was pleased to host a luncheon for the stars of the film and members of the community before the movie premier. 

 the help

Through ticket sales, over $150,000 was raised for the  

Baptist Town Community Development!

 

Below are some pictures from the luncheon hosted at the  

Fairview Inn:

Not familiar with our Culinary Tour Dinners?

What they are:   

One weekend each month Sophia's Restaurant features a different region of the United States. This means we will create a four course meal themed around a specific region's cuisine; each course is is also paired with a wine and the attendee has the option of having the meal with or without wines. We also decorate the restaurant to fit the theme and find entertainment to accompany the meal. We think the Culinary Tour idea is a great way to give people a culinary escape in their own backyard (we also give away an incredible grand prize for one lucky winner- see about for rules and more info).

For more information, please call 601-948-3429

Holly Robinson 

Originally from the small town/village of Rariton, Illinois, Holly is one of the newest members of the Fairview team and works for Sophia's Restaurant as Pastry Chef. She is a recent graduate of the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Chicago. As a chef she aspires to one day own a bakery. Her favorite part of baking is the artistic side that comes with decorating cakes, cupcakes, etc.

 

When not baking at Sophia's, Holly's favorite pastime is reading. Her favorite author is Sherrilyn Kenyon. She also enjoys going to Fondren After Five with friends and discovering all of the unique things that Jackson has to offer.

 

So, stop by Sophia's Restaurant and taste one of Holly's incredible desserts- your tastebuds will thank you!
