Thank you so much Bank of Tescott for your sponsorship of this year's Zoo Brew Craft Fest and for your continued support of Rolling Hills Zoo! Always a great time having you there!

The Bank of Tescott was proud to be a sponsor at the Rolling Hills Zoo Brew Craft Beer Fest this past weekend! It’s always a great time supporting this unique event that brings people together for good company, and a great cause.

We were set up right next to the Salina Selfie Station, which made for plenty of laughs and fun photos throughout the night! 📸

Thanks to everyone who stopped by — we had a blast!

We were thrilled to have you and Chris join us for one glorious night in the park as you tasted some incredible brews, jammed to the great music of the Llewd Brown Band, and enjoyed sunset tram rides through the zoo to top it off! And no zoo visit is complete without a visit with Creed the rhino calf. Looking forward to Zoo Brew Craft Fest 2027!

🏈 When you're named after a Kansas City offensive lineman… but you think you're a running back. 😂

might be known for protecting the quarterback, but our Creed? He's out here protecting his title as the fastest little rhino in the yard. 🦏💨

A quick rub on Mom.
A sprint to the fence.
A hard stop.
A boop to the pole.
Then a couple laps, just because he can.

That's one ornery little (big) ball of muscle. 😂 Keep running, Creed!

🔊: Sound on to hear the sound of his little feet
