Community Coordinator Christina Hayes hit the nail on the head when she described Great Bend the Great Bend City Council Monday night.“We are a melting pot of a lot of different people and cultures,” Hayes said. Because of that, coming up with a community-wide promotion that will interest enough folks to make it successful become challenging.Enter a new event (or actually several events) set for September.Hayes and others are planning Melting Pot Month. The idea is a daunting one – tie together the Mad About Monarchs at the Kansas Wetlands Eduction Center Sept. 14, the Sunflower Rod and Custom Association Summit Points Race and Party in the Park Sept. 21, the benefit bull ride Sept. 27, and the Big Bend Bike Rally and Renaissance Festival Sept. 28.“We want people to come and experience something different,” Hayes said.
