The Giant Slide at the Illinois State Fairgrounds is getting a new owner.
Springfield resident Dennis Herrington has owned the slide since 1995 and put it up for sale last month. He says five bids were submitted for the 130-foot-long slide, which has operated at the State Fair since 1968.
Herrington tells The (Springfield) State Journal-Register that the winning bid was from a local buyer who plans to keep operating the attraction at the fairgrounds.
