West Plains Bank and Trust Company to Give Away Free Bear T-Shirts

West Plains Bank and Trust Company will give away free Bears T-shirts in a drive-through event to be held in front of the Willow Springs High School Gym on Friday, Oct. 2, 2020, beginning at 5 p.m. until they are gone. The drive-through event has been planned to prevent a large gathering at Palenske Field, where the shirts are traditionally distributed. 

The shirts feature a design by McKinsey Smith, a sophomore student in Megan Schultz’s Willow Springs High School art class. Smith participated in a contest held by the bank, which is held annually. Smith received a T-shirt featuring her design and her class earned a $100 donation for supplies as well as a class party.
