Art’s Tavern honored as Leelanau Peninsula Chamber business of year

From staff reports

Tim Barr and Bonnie Nescot, who own Glen Arbor’s world famous Art’s Tavern, were honored with last year’s Leelanau Peninsula Chamber business of the year award. The award was presented at the Chamber’s annual dinner on Oct. 25. This was the third year in a row the award has been issued. Previous winners include the Bahles in Suttons Bay and the Grand Traverse Band of Ottawa and Chippewa Indians’ Economic Development Corporation.

According to Leelanau Peninsula Chamber Executive Director Sally Guzowski, a board comprised of several local business owners reviewed several nominations this year and chose Barr and Nescot for their philanthropic endeavors and the role they play in the community, and to recognize different-sized businesses and “spread the wealth around the county.”
