The Chamber will hold a free Wake Up Hailey on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
The gathering will be hosted by The Inn at Ellsworth Estates, 702 South 3rd Avenue in Hailey.
The inn is a historic nine-room bed and breakfast that was used as a Mormon church from 1945 to 1961. It was built in 1915 as a private residence for James MacDonald, whose father was a partner of Standard Oil’s John D. Rockefeller. The builder was Jack Rutter, who built the Liberty Theatre, Hailey Hotel and Masonic Lodge.
The Inn features gourmet breakfasts, four-poster beds, a study equipped with computer and printer, wireless internet and a book nook.
Different rooms reflect the area. One room, for instance, was inspired by the Basque sheepherders; another, by Hemingway.
There will be coffee and refreshments and a chance to take a tour of the inn and learn what’s coming up in the community.
