Badlands Off Road Park is 1,400+ acres of sand dunes, wooded trails, gravel, mud and rocks that welcomes ATVs, dirt bikes, jeeps, trucks, 4-by-4s, UTVs and side-by-sides.

In 2021, Badlands and other sponsors gave a customer 2021 Polaris Off-Road Ranger to a military member. This year's giveaway, as well as information on how to win, will be announced at a later date.

Big & Rich, comprised of Big Kenny and John Rich, has released six albums and has had four songs reach the top 15 of the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs: "Lost in the Moment" (No. 1), "Save a Horse (Ride a Cowboy)" (No. 11), "Look at You" (No. 13) and "Holy Water" (No. 15).

The duo was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005 for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group, along with more than a dozen nominations for Vocal Duo of the Year between the Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards.

Attica is roughly 80 miles northwest of downtown Indianapolis.
