As many of you know , for the past 18 months, Orienteering USA has been developing a partnership between the state of Kentucky, Orienteering Louisville, Orienteering Cincinnati and OUSA.

On Columbus day weekend we began to see the true results of those efforts in the form of a new state-funded permanent orienteering course at Taylorsville Lake State Park. In addition, Kentucky, OLOU and OUSA worked together to promote National Orienteering Day (held a few weeks later to accomodate club scheudule) which drew a record 209 participants ... 39% over projection.
