Kings Island Donates Hundreds of Coats to Local Non-Profits

Kings Island, Ohio – Just when it looked like Spring was finally here, the Ohio weather is at it again. Fortunately, the warmth of WinterFest continues as Kings Island donates more than 200 coats to Hamilton County’s Salvation Army and Warren County’s Franklin Area Community Services. The coats have a zip-out liner making them appropriate for all seasons.

“Kings Island has received great support from its local community over the last 35 years, and we are happy to give back,” said Greg Scheid, Kings Island vice president and general manager. “We are so glad that these wonderfully warm WinterFest coats can be put to good use, especially as the weather fluctuates this week!”

Cedar Fair Entertainment Company (NYSE: “FUN”) is a publicly traded partnership headquartered in Sandusky, Ohio. The Partnership, which owns and operates twelve amusement parks, five outdoor water parks, one indoor water park and six hotels, is one of the largest regional amusement park operators in the world.

There certainly were a good amount of people second guessing CF's decisions.

That sounds like a great job on King's Island park. This really makes you think how Cedar Fair is already giving back to the community.
