Ridgeway Mayor Charlene Herring, center, and Town Councilman Don Prioleau presented Ridgeway’s 2016 Entrepreneur of the Year award to Larry Sharpe, left; his wife Eileen and their granddaughter, Lakyn Fowler. The Sharpes own The Farm at Ridgeway, and Fowler is the event coordinator. “Larry and his family have contributed greatly to our local economy by owning and operating several businesses in the Ridgeway area for many years,” Herring said when presenting the award last week. “But it is The Farm at Ridgeway that has won our hearts and brought people from across South Carolina to Ridgeway and Fairfield County. And we are thankful to this family for that.”
