Cedar Point Centenary

Not that I remember, only being 52, but this coming week it's been 100 years since the historic convention at Cedar Point.
What an occasion that must have been

This year would be such a nice occasion to start the Great tribulation

There is a restaurant near the Cedar Point Amusement Park.  On one of the walls hangs a very large picture of CT Russell.  It's kinda cool to see.

 

We don't have a memorial plaque at the site of the convention, but that photo is close enough.

It is just sentimental, but I thought it would have been very nice to have held one of the Regional Conventions at (or near) Cedar Point as a "100th anniversary" gathering.  I am sure there were many logistic obstacles to such an idea, but it would have been nice.

What restaurant? We have visited the amusement park several times and I've tried finding anything linked to the 1919 convention there.

Breakers Hotel inside the amusement park.  I've never been but several friends have seen it and commented.  The brother i asked Sunday was last at the hotel in 2016.
