clean up

This article is good and all but it could use some housekeeping. First off there are weasel words in the end of it claiming that Kate Smith wrote “When the Moon Comes Over the Mountain” while at the inn. Also there is no mention of the yearly tree lighting ceremony that used to be hosted by the Bear Mountain Inn, with fireworks and a giant star on top of the mountain that was lit at the same time as the tree, which in my experience was far more relevant than the ski jumping site - the local boy/girl scout troops had competitions for gingerbread houses and model train formats that drew not only the city people who were a constant fixture at the inn but they were integrated into the community in a way that you don't often find on the east coast. In those "days of yore" we ALL saw the references in print in the local papers. It's been nearly twelve years since the last christmas festival was hosted at the inn and there is no mention of it in the article at all. I think it's because wikipedia doesn't account for local papers at all... and there is no way to show any of what I have already said unless you happen to have the last twelve years of "News of the Highlands" on hand. 68.115.35.110 (talk) 22:13, 24 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
