Stops in Claflin and Hoisington were on the itinerary Tuesday afternoon as the Barton County commissioners continued their Travel 389 initiative. The program, aimed at giving the commission the chance to get out and meet face to face with residents and businesses across the county’s 389 miles of roadways, started last week in Hoisington.

Included in Tuesday’s trip were Squeegy’s Bar and Grill, the site of a planned USD 112 Central Plains School District daycare facility (Central Plains High School), Central Prairie Co-op, Millers of Claflin, Cheyenne Bottoms Armory/Quilting by Vickie, Bailey’s Food Bin and Front Street Merchants, all in Claflin; and Ehler Chevrolet and B&B Metal Arts in Hoisington.

The next stop will be Ellinwood on Tuesday, Sept. 23.

Residents interested in being included can contact the Barton County Administration Office at 1400 Main Street, Suite 108, Great Bend, by calling 620-793-1800, or by contacting their commissioner.
