Maybe you’ve noticed the Earth Day poster art blooming in downtown Great Bend this spring. Wondering where all that art is coming from? Each poster is an original picture by one of over 30 young artists from Holy Family School in Great Bend. 
“It’s their way of reminding us to enjoy Earth Day 2014 as a day for celebrating creation,” said Felix Revello, Grass Roots Environmental Advocacy Team member. Students from fifth and sixth grades drew the posters as part of the arts program Holy Family offers to enrich the educational lives of their students. Each of the young artists signed their works.
 Earth Day is being celebrated from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, April 27, at Great Bend’s Brit Spaugh Zoo.
Actually, the posters hanging downtown are prints of the original art. To see all of the original posters in one location, come to the Zoo headquarters during the event where they will be prominently displayed. Enjoy this and many more environmental exhibits and activities for adults and children over the afternoon. Admission to the Zoo is free.
