Last Saturday was the annual Zoo Boo at the Great Bend Britt Spaugh Zoo, presented by Eagle Radio and KSNC-TV, where thousands of pieces of candy were distributed to community kids. Zoo Director Scott Gregory said this year they had a record number of 20 sponsors, along with 5,500 dollars worth of candy, and over 4,000 people that went through the Zoo collecting candy from 35 stations that passed out the candy.

Gregory said they had a scary section that a group from Great Bend High School set up a zombie area where people had another option of entertainment during Zoo Boo. Gregory said Zoo Boo is strictly a community event that isn’t to benefit of the Zoo.
