From Paragon website I Think:

Read this on the Paragon site today:

As some of you may have already heard, we are starting a new endeavor with the Badlands Off Road Park in Attica, IN.

As that may seem to be a negative for our faithful customers who have been waiting patiently for us to open something in this area, it is actually better news than you may think for everyone.

Over the past year we have been working on deals with land owners while continuously searching for more land to use for our business. A few deals have come close only to fall through at the last minute and there are a many deals that we are still trying to work out. Even with our new endeavor, we will not abandon our possible dealings on the East Coast. Badlands Off Road will actually create smoother negotiations as we will have solid income and some more bargaining room. This is not only good for land dealings in our area, but on a national/regional level. Keep in mind, the more areas we can have a presence in, the better it is for you. There will be more areas and locations for you to enjoy your sport.

PA is still our home and it is where we started and we will not forget that. We love this area and moving to Indiana is very bittersweet for us. But we are extremely excited about starting our next adventure.

In Kyle’s speech at the closing of the Oak Ridge location, he made a statement that Paragon is more than just an address or location. We still live by those words every day. Please know that our family has contributed a significant personal and financial investment in this sport, in this area and in this region.

This has been a very long year for us and Troy & Lisa Myers are great. They have given us a very bright light at the end of our tunnel. We are very grateful to them for the opportunity they have given us which has enabled us to procure the Badlands without abandoning Paragon. Troy and Lisa are just like us. They have devoted their life to the sport and providing a top notch facility. They are just ready to move on to their next adventure as well. As we looked to Paragon as being our stepping stone to a larger plan, the Badlands will now be our launching point.

We understand why some of you may have some misgivings about the money and efforts you have put into saving Paragon. Please know that all those monies are still invested in the court system and none of it has gone toward the Badlands or anything else for that matter. Please understand that as you have donated your time and money to Paragon, we have contributed everything we have to Paragon. By no means are we walking away from our or your investment in this area.

Our legal battle for Paragon is far from over. In fact, we just had a court appearance last week. Unfortunately it takes time and money to fight these long battles. We have many more court battles ahead of us. Look at it this way, if we run out of money they win. That is what they have been trying to do all along.

There will be an official press release with more information to follow.

We appreciate all of your support!

Thank you!

Kyle & Stephanie
