Kentucky Ark (Park) runs aground

"LEO Weekly, an alternative weekly published in Louisville, Kentucky, reports that fundraising for the Ark Park has gone virtually nowhere since last May. Groundbreaking, if it was ever planned at all, has been postponed and postponed and postponed until next spring at the earliest.

LEO Weekly reports that the Ark Park has raised only about $1 million since last May and has raised a total of $4 million altogether. Its goal is to raise approximately $25 million. A representative of the Ark Park says, “Funding is progressing, a little slower [sic] due to the very slow economy.” He says further that they are 3-4 months behind schedule and adds, “We are considering a few options to help speed up the construction and possibly open to guests earlier than our original schedule. Once we have more information developed I’ll update you – probably by the first of the year.” LEO Weekly estimates that at the present rate groundbreaking might be scheduled for 2024.

Anyone who wonders where the money may be going in the meantime might consider the review by a volunteer named Roxy, posted at Charity Navigator.

Don't suppose people are wising up a bit do you? We can only hope.

Noah didn't need $25 million to build an ark, plus he gathered at least two of every animal. Sounds like these ark people are slackers to me.

A flock only has so much fleece to shear off... and this is chilly weather.

Isn't there a historical pattern of these kind of thing.
Defunct bible theme-parks are common in the southern US... it's rather cliche.

Heritage, Dogpatch, Holy Land Experience, Bibleland.... :sarcastic

First, let me apologize for the following mean-spirited mirth.

When it opens, I'd visit the park wearing a T-shirt that reads "I'm with stupid",
which would have arrows pointing left, right & every which way.

I was hoping for it. If it never materializes, oh well. No loss.

It may sound juvenile but so what? I wanted to dress as a pirate and visit. This may have been a bad idea, though, as I may have gotten my first criminal trespass charge as an adult.

I'd join you as a pirate wench. ;) Oh! Or I could come in Naval uniform! Either way, sounds like fun! :D

Oh. yeah. A pirate wench navy! A dream come true for many a sailor. A potential nightmare for Noah and his chattel. :D

It's beginning to sound like a big sham just to raise money and line some "good christians" pocket with the loot! Kind of like Oral Roberts.

Sort of like this?
