A marketing tool for the City of Great Bend and the Great Bend Brit Spaugh Zoo has been completed. The zoo look books are officially available for sale at the zoo located along Main Street.

Great Bend Convention and Visitors Bureau Director Christina Hayes said the hard-cover books will be available for $20.

"It's a marketing piece for the zoo and Great Bend," said Hayes. "As it goes through the history of the zoo, I feel like it turned out really great. I love the pictures and the history."

Kansas Tourism, under the Department of Commerce, awarded Great Bend a $3,468 grant to assist with the look books. The CVB will also use the books in giveaways and promotions as needed.

The books go through the history of the zoo that opened in the 1950s and also details certain animals throughout the decades.
