A group in 2003 first proposed an Off-Road Park in Forest county.
Promoters say the large park would draw visitors from across the U.S. and the money they bring. But others say Forest county is investing money in a project that might not come to reality. Forest County has set up a committee on the Off-Road Park. The county board has invested $40,000 into the project.
Doors will open February 8 at the Laona school at 2:30 p.m.
