Tim Richards

• Zoo attraction: I love the RainForest. It’s such a cool vibe as you walk in and see the waterfall and all of the animals. It truly feels as if you are walking through a rain forest. Not that I’ve been to one, because I don’t want to be eaten, but you get the picture.

• Ride at Cedar Point: I’ve always loved Ocean Motion. No, the reason isn’t because you are facing a mermaid’s bare chest smack in the middle of the boat, it’s because it was the first ride I ever rode at Cedar Point back in sixth grade. I can’t believe I just admitted that. Please continue to listen to my show.

• Picnic food: There’s nothing better than hamburgers made with fresh ground beef from the West Side Market, my mom’s potato salad and deviled eggs. Let’s wash that down with an A&W Root Beer.

• Annual summer event: The Taste of Tremont — there are so many quality restaurants to choose from, along with local bands, beverages and good friends. You can’t beat it.
