2025 Business Showcase

🚨 CALLING ALL BUSINESSES! 🚨

Be part of the BIGGEST Business Showcase yet — exclusively for Barton County educators and support staff!

The 10th Annual Business Showcase, presented by Credit Union of America, is back and better than ever — and this year, we're welcoming even more educators than before!

In addition to USD 428, we’re inviting every school in Barton County, local and private, plus Barton Community College. That means more teachers, paraprofessionals, administrative staff, and school personnel — and more valuable face time for your business.

📍 Who’s invited to attend:

• USD 428 (Great Bend Public Schools)

• USD 431 (Hoisington)

• USD 355 (Ellinwood)

• USD 112 (Central Plains – Claflin and Wilson)

• Barton Community College

• Holy Family School

• St. Joseph Catholic School

• Central Kansas Christian Academy

• Golden Belt Home Educators

🗓️ Thursday, August 7th | ⏰ 9:00–11:00 AM
📍 Panther Activity Center (PAC), Great Bend High School

👉 Schedule:

• USD 428 staff will begin arriving at 9:00 AM

• All other invited schools, college personnel, private school staff, and homeschool educators are welcome to join starting at 9:45 AM

🎉 Please note: This is a private event — not open to the public.
It’s a celebration of the educators and support staff who serve Barton County’s students, and a chance for local businesses to show appreciation, support, and share relevant products or services.

Why Your Business Should Participate:

• Get face-to-face with up to 1,000 school employees

• Build brand awareness with a trusted, local audience

• Promote your business, products, or educator-focused specials

• Show your support for the people shaping the next generation
