"On Friday there will be a breakfast at the Great Bend High School commons," said Anderson. "That's from 8:50 a.m. to 9:25 a.m., and you can enter through the main entrance of the high school. The program will begin a 9:30 a.m."
There will also be a program Friday at 1 p.m. at Golden Belt Memorial Park. On Saturday, there will be a program at Veterans Memorial Park in Great Bend at 11 a.m.
The city will again put American flags up at Veterans Park.
