CONWAY — Federal, state and local officials joined Cranmore ownership and staff, plus dozens of onlookers last Friday at the official dedication of the Fairbank Lodge.
“It’s so great to be here two years after we were here for the groundbreaking and to look around and see the new building,” said Cranmore President and General Manager Ben Wilcox.
