Hello Everyone,

Tomorrow, October 4^th, is the Family Dinner Cruise with Lake Coeur d'Alene Cruises.  I want to pass along some important information that will be helpful before our boarding.

First Off:

• Boarding for the cruise begins at 4:30 PM.  The cruise boats will depart promptly at 5:00 PM and return at 7:30 PM.
• Everyone will have a dinner seat that is enclosed on the first deck and comfortable for the temperature and weather.  If members want to venture outside, the second deck is open-air, so we encourage everyone to bring a jacket for the night.
• Maps and directions are attached to this email.

Valet Parking: This is a complimentary service - gratuity based.
**Parking can be validated at the Bell Desk in the resort lobby for up to 3 hours.  But most likely, you will be parked for longer than 3 hours, so you will incur some cost.

Boat Dock Directions:

From the Resort Parking Garage:
From the parking garage elevators, please proceed to the first floor.  Festival staff will hold "UCG DINNER CRUISE" signs to help guide you from the elevators.

From McEuen Park City Parking:
Do Not Enter the Resort.  Please proceed directly from the McEuen parking lot to the outdoor boardwalk & marina entrance ramp.  From here, you will be able to board the cruise boats.  Just walk towards the marina from the parking lot, and you will find your way to the entrance ramp.

One Final Note:

We encourage everyone to arrive plenty ahead of time and enjoy a bit of downtime in Coeur d'Alene.  Here are some locations to find something to do before the cruise.

• The Coeur d'Alene Resort Terrace Rooftop Lounge - The Terrace Rooftop Lounge, Coeur d'Alene's new premiere rooftop lounge, provides a beautiful vista view of Lake Coeur d'Alene.  Located on the second story of The Coeur d'Alene Resort, the new hot spot serves up craft cocktails and small bites.  (Location: 2nd Floor CDA Resort)
• The Coeur d'Alene Resort Whispers Lounge - Revel in the cool vibes at this lakefront lounge.  Whispers is known for its specialty cocktails and creative bar staff, who put twists on the classic shaker martini with flavors like cosmo, lemon drop and espresso.  (Location: CDA Resort Lobby)
• McEuen Park - Location: next to CDA Resort - 420 E Front Ave, Coeur d'Alene, ID 83814
• Shops, Restaurants, Coffee – There are many shops, restaurants, and coffee spots just one to two blocks away from the CDA Resort.  (Location: along Sherman and Lakeside Avenues)

On behalf of the Festival Team, we look forward to hosting you tomorrow night.
