I just saw this on MJ. I looked around and didn't see a copy here. So sorry if its a repost.
I know that I went down with MSG and few others to the park this spring, and I've heard about other groups of GL members going down there. I thought this might interest you.
The park is new, and looks promising, but it sounds like he needs help if its going to stay open.

As many of you know, the park had to temporarily close in July because the County administration determined that we needed an Entertainment License to continue to operate the park. We have been involved with applying for and, hopefully, obtaining such a license since the beginning of July.
KY Outback Adventure Park has applied for the Entertainment License and the hearing has been scheduled for September 15th at 3:00 PM to determine if we are to receive it.
The hearing is set for September 15, 2005 at 3:00 PM at the Lewis Country Courthouse, located at 514 Second Street, Vanceburg, KY in the Fiscal Court meeting room on the third floor. If you have been to our park and would like to attend the meeting we would appreciate your support. We believe that our neighbor (the individual that would like the park shut down) will have a number of people there speaking on his behalf and against the park. If you would like to speak on behalf of the park, we ask that you contact us either by phone at 859-635-3058 or by email at service@kyorvpark.com and let us know. Our attorney would like to speak with people to determine who he will be presenting as speakers.
Our one neighbor has seemingly done whatever possible to make the park look bad with the neighbors. He has reportedly misled people as to where the park was located, which resulted in them needing to turn around on a one lane county road which caused them to drive onto private property and upset landowners, directed people to drive on land he told them was public that is actually private, which again upset local property owners, and attempted to harass and intimidate people in various ways. If you have had any experiences like this with this individual, please forward some of the details along with your name, address, and telephone number by e-mail to service@kyorvpark.com or by fax to 775-257-4352. This information will help us demonstrate that a lot of the "problems" were caused by outside forces looking to do the park harm.
If you cannot make the hearing but would still like to support the park you can contact the county administrators and let them know how you feel by sending them faxes, e-mails or letters. The contact information for the County Judge Executive is :
Mr. Steven Applegate
County Judge Executive, Lewis County
514 Second Street
Vanceburg, KY 41179
e-mail: lewiscojudge@ekns.net
Fax: 606-796-0822
We would like to show the County Adminstration that the off road park is good for the entire Lewis County community. Please let them know where you are from and if you frequented other local businesses when you were in town. If you send an e-mail or letter, we ask that you send us a copy for our records.
We are providing this contact information so that you can show the County Administrators your support for the off road park. Mr. Applegate is a very busy man and we ask that you please not call him directly or harass him in any way.
