We’re almost a month into the 2025 and we’re hard at work putting together our annual section called “Vision.”A lot of newspapers call this their progress edition, and I like to joke that we’re making progress on the progress edition. It’s not a funny joke — more of a dad joke and my daughter can attest that I have plenty of bad dad jokes. But back to our upcoming section. “Vision” is, by far, the biggest section of the year for us.

After years of experience, I’ve come to the realization that any time is the best time to go to Cedar Point. I’ve been there on opening day. I’ve been there on Memorial Day. Been there in June (watch out for the mayflies). The fireworks are awesome on the Fourth. Labor Day is hardly any work at all when visiting the park, too. Ahhh, but the fall. That’s a special time. HalloWeekends (now in its 26th year) might just be my favorite time of the year to attend the amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio.

I admit it, I’m a theme park junkie. If there’s a coaster in a park, I want to ride it. My love for parks — and roller coasters — can be traced to annual trips to Kennywood Park outside of Pittsburgh while growing up. I knew that place like the back of my hand. So when the chance presented itself to go to Kennywood during its 125th birthday season, it was a no-brainer for me to hop in the car and make the 2-hour trip from Meadville down the interstate.

A 10-time world champion will be introduced to its home crowd in Edinboro on Monday night. It’ll go something like this:“From Erie, Pennsylvania, Drum Corps International is proud to present, The Cadets.” After that announcement, an 11-minute program filled with brass, percussion and color guard members showcasing percussion, drama, dance and emotion will fill the Sox Harrison Stadium field.
