Trolleys, window decorations, and maybe even a little snow in the near future. The Christmas season is ramping up around Great Bend, and now the city is seeking volunteers to work the Trail of Lights booth at Brit Spaugh Park. Community Coordinator Christina Hayes said it's a fun way to get involved.

"We would love to have anyone who wants to greet the cars," she said. "We do take donations, and we give out great little goody bags saying, 'Welcome to Great Bend, thanks for checking out our lights.'"

Groups of at least two people are needed to sign up to volunteer. Along with greeting the vehicles, the volunteers keep track of the number of cars and which state the cars are from as they pass through the Wild Lights at Brit Spaugh Park.

"It will be every evening from 6-8 p.m," Hayes said. "We have open dates still from Nov. 29 all the way through Dec. 23. It is first-come, first-serve so the volunteers, when they choose a date, we fill it, and it fills pretty fast."

Anyone interested in volunteering can email Hayes at chayes@greatbendks.net.
