The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 For the first time ever, the FUN annual meeting will not be in Ohio. (Tell me things aren't changing!) Charlotte. Near what the Toledo Blade currently calls Caro-winds. http://m.toledoblade.com/business/2012/05/24/Cedar-Fair-meeting-to-be-in-North-Carolina.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 For the first time ever, the FUN annual meeting will not be in Ohio. (Tell me things aren't changing!) Given that 4 years ago the meeting was near Knott's, why is this news significant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 The annual meeting wasn't, or so HAD claimeth The Blade. The article has since been amended. It had said it was the first time ever. The Blade erred. Things aren't changing much there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 It would be a great laugh if SS posted the original article! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I can understand the hyphen in "Carowinds" in the mobile version since "winds" is on a separate line from "Caro", but one would think they'd fix that for the full article ("Caro- winds" as it says). The version in the Toledo paper is at least better than the one in the Sandusky paper: http://www.sanduskyregister.com/sandusky/news/cedar-fair/cedar-fair-takes-meeting-south Besides the fact that you have to subscribe to the electronic edition to read the entire article (seriously? You can't even read all of today's news for free?), they've got oddball spacing to prevent having to break lines in the middle of words, and the link at the end of the article to the "e*Paper" version is broken.

Leland Wykoff Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Cedar Fair has sited the Annual Shareholders Meeting elsewhere previously. But like many companies they tended to do so when they wish to shield management from retail shareholder questions. This new direction probably signifies a desire to rotate the annual meeting to reach-out to more Unitholders and further develop a broader base of retail Unitholders beyond the current Ohio headquarters. If they rotate meetings they are getting away from the Cedar Point as the center of the universe thought process. This is most likely good news. Note the meeting is being held at a park still overseen by a former CEO Kinzel kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 29, 2012 Author Share Posted May 29, 2012 He's still Kinzel's son. That part won't be changing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shark6495 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 Note the meeting is being held at a park still overseen by a family member of a former CEO, Kinzel's kid. He's still Kinzel's son. That part won't be changing. Amazing what a few minor changes do for a sentence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
