The Sheraton is Memphis&#8217; convention center hotel, but the rooms are not being kept up by current ownership. That&#8217;s been causing convention planners to look to other cities.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/downtownmemphis.com\/do\/downtown-churches-association-blessing-of-the-animals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Get your pet blessed<\/a> this Saturday between 10 and 11 AM in Court Square.
