Group Hoping for Grant to Fix Blue Streak

The Trustees of Conneaut Lake Park want Pepsi to help them get one of the country’s oldest wooden roller coasters back on track.

The group is hoping to a get a $50,000 grant from Pepsi’s Refresh Everything Project to help refurbish the Blue Streak, the sixth oldest wooden roller coaster in the country.

The trustees hope to raise $125,000 to complete the restoration of the Blue Streak and provide off-season maintenance for the coaster. The Blue Streak has not been in operation since 2006, although the park is open.

Conneaut Lake Park is the 12th oldest amusement park in the U.S., but has had a number of financial problems over the last several years.

The group is hoping people will go to http://www.refresheverything.com and vote for their project.
