Animal expert Jack Hanna addresses a sold out crowd, Thursday at Barton Community College, while Barton’s Vice President Dr. Penny Quinn holds a bearcat. The program was organized by the Great Bend Zoological Society, with the college as a sponsor. Several BCC staff prepared the Fine Arts Auditorium and helped throughout the show. Hanna noted that Great Bend’s Brit Spaugh Zoo is deserving of community support. “I can count on one hand the number of free zoos in the United States,” Hanna said.
