Bad weather? No problem! KY Parks have a solution

(AP) Kentucky’s state parks are offering assistance during the winter storm to people who may be stranded or otherwise need lodging.

The Department of Parks said in a news release Wednesday that lodge rooms are available at the 16 resort parks for $49.95 per night. The rate is available during severe weather.
