Cave City attraction sells at auction for $295,000

CAVE CITY, Ky. (AP) – A south-central Kentucky country music radio station owner has bought a closed recreational park in Cave City.

The Courier-Journal (http://cjky.it/1VFyFld ) said David Froggett Jr. purchased the two tracts of land and buildings for $295,000 at auction Wednesday.

Froggett, of Edmonton, owns WHSX-FM. He told the Daily News of Bowling Green last week that he plans to turn the attraction into a “resort park-nature park combination.”

The park started as the Western-themed Guntown Mountain in 1969. It was purchased in May by a Louisville businessman who planned to turn it into a Kentucky-themed park, but he was unable to follow through due to health issues.
