It’s a spring tradition: Members of the Great Bend Noon Lions Club spent Saturday morning planting redbud trees in the islands on Broadway Ave.Lions member Don Halbower said the club has been doing this for over 60 years. Volunteers brought tools and water to replace 23 trees that have died or been hit by vehicles in the past year. Great Bend has been a “Tree City USA” city since 1981.
