Great Wolf Lodge at Kings Island announced that it will be opening a new waterslide in March of 2010, just in time for Spring Break!

Named, The Triple Twist™, this new ride features a high speed, five-story drop into a huge funnel followed by twists and turns and two more funnels. And at night, The Triple Twist takes it up a notch as you are immersed in a full-sensory LED lighting experience. The Triple Twist will be the first waterslide of its kind in the world!

To celebrate the unveiling of the new ride, Great Wolf is launching its "First Family" Sweepstakes. The "First Family" will receive:

• The opportunity to be the first guests to ride the new waterslide on Grand Opening Day
• The winner's surname on the new ride
• The winner's photo and commemorative plaque placed in the Grand Lobby of the resort
• One of the hotel suites to be named after the winner (with a photo and plaque outside the room)
• Two overnight stays in 2010

The sweepstakes begins at 12:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, January 18, 2010, and ends at 5:00 p.m., Central Standard Time, February 26, 2010.

No comprehensive history of Warren County has been published in more than 125 years. Because of this lack of exploration into the rich past of Warren County, many members of the Heritage Advisory Council collaborated on the development of "Historic Warren County: An Illustrated History."

This unique publication offers more than 40 pages of text and photos...both old and new. You will learn about how the Quakers helped shape the history of the county as well as how many of our towns and villages impacted the path to freedom along the Underground Railroad.

Proceeds from the sale of the book benefit the Heritage Advisory Coucil.  If you would like to reserve your copy, contact the author, Cynthia Pauwels at cynpauw@gmail.com or 937-542-96280.
