Short Memory

From the "if you were from here, you'd know this" department. 

WANE-TV's story on Zoo Day was complete, but it was not accurate. 

According to WANE-TV, "Kroger is launching its 26th annual campaign to raise money for the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo. Since 1993, the grocery store chain has collected $1.8 million for the zoo." 

One hitch...Kroger has had nothing to do with Zoo Day until 2007 when they bought out Scotts stores and rebranded those stores as Kroger. 

The News-Sentinel gets it right - "This will be the 26th year for the fundraising partnership started by Fort Wayne's Scott's Food Stores and continued by Cincinnati-based Kroger after it bought the business in 2007".

While one might argue that the kids in the WANE-TV newsroom may not have been alive 26 years ago, it is safe to assume that most were born before 2007 when Kroger took over.
