SANDUSKY - When eager thrill-seekers pour into Cedar Point this opening weekend, they are likely to notice a theme throughout the park as it celebrates the start of its 151st season.
As gates first opened Friday, Cedar Point is kicking off the season highlighting its annual Frontier Festival and partnership with Prayers From Maria, a nonprofit organization raising money for childhood cancer research.
Based out of Rocky River, Prayers From Maria achieves its mission to spread hope and awareness through the annual sunflower blooms at Maria’s Field of Hope in Avon, and more recently at a second location, Maria’s Field of Hope at Cedar Point, next to Express Hotel in Sandusky.
