Tying up a few loose ends on stories that didn’t make the front page:Great Bend can now call its Brit Spaugh Zoo “nationally famous.” A story about a recent purchase has been published in such sources as The Wall Street Journal and the Sacramento Bee.The headline reads, “Great Bend Zoo conquers an epic drain cleaning problem.” You could say the bears and other zoo animals are responsible, just for doing what they would do in the woods – or whatever their natural habitats might be.A few months ago, Zoo Director Scott Gregory purchased a Clog Hog drain cleaner for under 200 bucks.
