We're not just about horses and bourbon! Looks like fun!

GEORGETOWN - Construction is almost complete on a new, state-of-the-art water park that local officials are calling "the crowning jewel in the Scott County community".

Situated at Oser Landing, the water park features slides that will let guests splash directly into Elkhorn Creek. "It's revolutionary," says Magistrate David Livingston, who has been working closely with Georgetown/Scott County Parks and Recreation on the project. "We wanted to combine the beautiful, natural terrain that we have here in Georgetown with cutting-edge design technology," adds Livingston. "So far the project has exceeded our expectations!"

The steep water slides will allow park guests to accelerate at speeds up to 95 miles per hour. "When you hit the creek you're gonna feel it," says Livingston. "These slides are not for the faint of heart. And I wouldn't recommend wearing a Speedo while you're flying down these bad boys, if you catch my drift."

This is a developing story.
