"Welcome Mountain Hounds!" says the Sidney James Motor Lodge. Again, this spring, May 28-30, we host the Greyhound Friends of North Carolina and their Mountain Hound event. Registration began Thursday at the conference room of the Sidney James Motor Lodge; crafts and relaxation for the dogs is the order of the day. Thursday evening the group dined together at a local favorite in downtown Gatlinburg, Lineberger's Seafood restaurant.
Friday morning the activities begin with games, craft opportunites, lunch and group photo opportunities. This is a great morning for the dogs and the owners as they experience the Smoky Mountains at Mynatt Park which is located directly next to Sidney James Mountain Lodge and is bordering the National Park. Lunch was provided by Gatlinburg Farms of Gatlinburg and everyone was enjoying it. Friday afternoon folks will return to the Sidney James conference room for informative seminars on such topics as "Communicating With Our Animals", "Second Chance Greyhounds" and more. Friday evening, the Blessing of the Hounds will be conducted by Rev. Susan Downs and is a very special evening for all.
Saturday, May 30th, the games and fun begin at Mynatt Park and continue throughout the day. Although Sidney James is not a pet friendly hotel, many special preparations are taken to provide provisions for the opportunity to host this group. We welcome them back year after year!
