On July 8, 2026, Bentley had the honor of hosting Bolton's reading of the Declaration of Independence. Morgan Cunningham lent his time and talent to make this an extra special reading. One patron who attended called hearing the Founders' words read aloud a "spiritual experience."
Now, thanks to the Community Voice Channel - CVC you can experience the reading yourself!
