LOL - I don't think anybody was trying to "dig" on anybody - it's like we're all having separate conversations!
Not that is probably matters to most, but I think the mention of "Cedar Point" was for those salon owners who MIGHT think about attending who would consider trying to turn this "business trip" into a "family vacation" (e.g. enjoy the write-off!), a major amusement park is right there, and it is right after school lets out for the summer. Also that area has a major Seaworld, Waterparks, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Indians baseball games, etc.
Bet most of you didn't know all those fun facts about Cleveland!
I know a lot of people get bored of Nashville ("been there, done that") and while this is a MUCH different meeting than Nashville (!!), for those that like to be involved, and are curious, but don't want to spend their money for "just" business, a little incentive to plan a family vacation and drop in and hear the latest from the ITA at the same time.
Also - for you single salon owners, Sandusky is also proximate to Put-In-Bay on Lake Erie, home of a WELL KNOWN local island area where "what happens in PIB, stays in PIB" type party atmosphere - think Mardi Gras, the Keys, Vegas rolled into one!
For those that will come, look forward to seeing you there (the ITA meeting, not PIB!
)
