From the Chamber
Great Bend Chamber members and the local business community are invited to help spread holiday cheer by donating promotional items for this year’s Trail of Lights tour through the zoo!
The Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau—Explore Great Bend—is preparing swag bags for the first 1,000 guests, giving your business an opportunity to connect with visitors and community members during one of Great Bend’s favorite holiday traditions.
This year, children from the Barton County Youth Crew—a Central Kansas Partnership program—will assemble the bags, adding a special community connection to the effort.
What can your business contribute?
- Coupons or special offers
- Stickers, magnets, pens, or other branded giveaways
- Business cards or promotional materials
- Information about upcoming events or holiday promotions
- Other small items that fit inside a swag bag
All contributions are requested as free donations to the CVB. Your items can introduce someone to your business, encourage a return visit, and showcase what our local business community has to offer.
Please deliver donations by Friday, Nov. 6, to:
Explore Great Bend / Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau
3111 10th St.,
Great Bend, KS 67530
Questions? Contact Amanda Gaddis, CVB Director/Events Center Manager, at (620) 792-2750 or agaddis@greatbendks.gov to coordinate your donation, discuss quantities, or ask what items would work best.
Let’s fill these bags with local pride and give Trail of Lights guests something special to take home!
