Is it OK to fly on Friday the 13th? That was my first question when presented with the bucket-list opportunity to go up in a hot air balloon during the Thurston Classic. kAmxE H2D 2D<65 AFC6=J :? ;6DE 3642FD6 x H2D 6286C E@ 6IA6C:6?46 E96 E9C:== 27E6C D66:?8 E96 32==@@?D 8@ FA[ FA 2?5 2H2J :?E@ E96 |625G:==6 D<:6D 7@C ?62C=J b_ J62CD @G6C u2E96CVD s2J H66<6?5]k^Am kAmqFE[ DE:==[ x 925 E@ D6E 2D:56 2?J DFA6CDE:E:@?D]k^AmkAmQpD =@?8 2D E96 H62E96C :D 7:?6[ J@F 5@?VE H2=< F?56C 2 =2556C E@ 86E :?

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.
