14. Does the Sidney James Mountain Lodge allow pets?
    The Sidney James is opening their hotel to our event and our dogs. They are not normally a pet friendly hotel so we ask that you be conscious of your dog’s behavior and leave a good impression. We want our first impression to be a good impression so we will be invited back next year. While tipping is not required we will include an envelope in your Welcome Bag for any gratuity you wish to give the housekeeping staff. Please leave the envelope at the front desk when you check out. Any monies will be divided among the housekeeping staff.
