The third annual Christmas Parade of Lights in Great Bend was held on the chilly evening of November 30th. Running south down Main Street, the well-attended and growing parade consisted of 31 floats and 4 fire departments. Attendees were invited to the Lee Wiegand Park behind the VFW after the parade for a visit with the Mr. and Mrs. from the North Pole, in addition to hot cocoa and cookies and giveaways for children.
The last three members of the Great Bend Police Department have resigned. Officer in Charge, Katie Stanziale, the only active patrol officer for the past many months, submitted a letter to the Borough Council for its meeting on December 5th announcing her decision to close out her employment as of the end of the month. She did not attend the meeting.
