Slide the City bringing their massive slip-n-slide to Southwest Virginia

ROANOKE (WSLS 10) - For those who are young and 'young at heart' this event was made for you! The Utah-based Slide the City is bringing a massive slip-n-slide to Southwest Virginia. 

The slide measures 1,000 feet, which is longer than three football fields. Organizers say the slip-slide is designed to be a big fun community event during the hot summer months. 

It's also for a good cause as the organization partners with a charity in each city it visits. Tickets range from $20 to $60. 

The group is working on an exact date but the slide is expected to be in Roanoke and Blacksburg this July.
