1. Burroughs & Chapin has been subsidizing the Pavilion for several years. How did you reach the decision to make 2006 the farewell season?
It is only because of its long and storied history that we chose to subsidize the Pavilion's existence in recent years. We make a point of operating our amusement and entertainment venues at high levels of safety and customer service and it is a tough, undeniable fact of life that the cost of keeping the 50-year-old amusement park operational finally reached the point of no return at the end of 2005. However, understanding the traditional and emotional attachments that many people have to the park, including the people at Burroughs & Chapin, we elected to keep the park open one more season in 2006 so that those who have never visited the park would have a chance to do so, and those who have visited the park would have the chance to add more positive memories to those they already have.
