Great Bend Community Coordinator Christina Hayes says the State of Kansas has found out quickly that art and wine walks are very successful.
Great Bend has their Art & Wine Walk in downtown scheduled for May 6. The event is designed to promote the arts and create retail awareness. The city council had to authorize the participating businesses to be able to serve complimentary alcohol on their premises.

The funds from the silent auction at the retail stores will go to help the Retail Strategic Planning Group. The group was formed to create a better shopping atmosphere in Great Bend.
