"Tuesday, May 05
LENOX — Citing increased operating costs due to the slumping economy, the owner of the popular Eastover Resort and Conference Center said she will close the 62-year, family-owned resort Nov. 1.

Dorothy H. "Ticki" Winsor, whose late father, George J. Bisacca, turned the former Fahnestock Estate into a year-round recreational resort in 1947, said she plans to sell the 500-acre, multi-building property, but isn't sure when it will go on the market. Her daughter, Betsy Kelly, said she didn't know what the asking price would be.

Kelly said if the property is sold before the closing date, the East Street facility will remain as Eastover Resort until Nov. 1.".
