Kings Island Resort & Conference Center Employee David Smith has won the 2007 Pinnacle Award for Outstanding Service for his help in taking care of a family in a medical emergency situation. Smith is a resident of the Eastgate area. He has worked for the resort for about a year and also servers as a teacher in the Clermont County School District.

Any more details about the medical situation? Just curious. It's good to see someone in the CF chain get some props.

No, that was based off of a press release that KI sent me.

Cedar Fair does not own, operate or manage The Kings Island Resort and Conference Center. The resort's employees are not Cedar Fair employees.

I was sent the press release by Bill Mefford, but the header for it was for Warren County, not Cedar Fair.

Its really nice to see Kings Island in the news for something good like this.

Yet again, let me remind you, the ONLY thing Kings Island about Kings Island Resort and Conference Center is its name...it has nothing else in common with the park...except that once upon a time they shared an owner . . .

Wonder why the press release was sent from KI.

Because it was a nice thing to do...to recognize a man who performed an act to be admired. And because the place DOES share a name with Kings Island...Note, however, that when the news at the Resort is bad (and there has been some in the past year), the park does not identify with the Resort. Understandably.

Kudos to David Smith. He is real hero.

Well, still. The original sentiment was to congratulate the guy. I don't really care if he's CF or not.
