The Prattsville Scoop by Abby and Gabby - 21 March 2025

PRATTSVILLE - Wish to thank our law enforcement community, firemen, EMTs, and all those who step forward with and without pay to keep us safe and ease our lives. Thank you.

As this is written, in the words of Karen Carpenter, “Rainy days and Mondays……..” We do have the warmer temperatures just not a lot of sunshine, and we do have that continual wind. So far have not heard anyone say they were able to see the eclipse at 3 AM.

Kathy and Everett Sherman were doing some shopping in Oneonta recently. Perhaps buying some furnishings and decorations for their new home. Kathy said there is progress being made on the interior of it. Regardless of where they are domiciled, Kathy will continue to do her creations “Kate’s Kreations” consisting of purses, handbags, wallets, credit card holders, etc. etc. She has also spread out to the “dammit doll” for those of us who need something to wham when the Bills lose. Now with March Madness, we are sure she would need to make a plethora of dolls for all the colleges who will not win the games. Stock up Kathy. Teddy Bears available?

Speedy recovery to Diana Jaeger. She needs some good wishes. Regardless of her physical condition, she is always able to babysit great-granddaughter Charleigh. Diana said the super intelligent and agile 11 month old little girl is trying to walk by herself. Of course, great-grandpa Arnold is there for backup babysitting duty.

The Ashland Rescue Squad breakfast was a success and thoroughly enjoyed by those attending. Mountaintop chefs do know how to make a superb breakfast, made to order. Heard that the West Kill/Lexington Community Association will be having their spring pancake breakfast some time in April. Will let you know the exact date when it is given to me.

One inch of hot water on our kitchen floor at 7 AM does not qualify as a hot tub. Nor an indoor swimming pool. It is just a mess that takes hours to soak up but your floor is super clean. Nothing broken just an “oops” and serves as a warning to pay more attention to what you are doing.

It was a good turnout for the first meeting of 2025 for the American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 on Tuesday, the 11. Activities were discussed with the Annual Easter Egg Hunt taking front and center. The Auxiliary will host the Easter Egg Hunt at Youngs’ Ace Hardware, Prattsville, on Saturday, April 19. beginning at 11 AM, with at least three age divisions. After that, Beth Camna/Prattsville Diner and family and friends will provide more activities and treats on the Prattsville Town Green, weather permitting. Beth and her group really do a super job with food items, fun activities and more eggs to find. Last year we received permission requests to attend the festivities. Not necessary, just show up and take part in any or all activities. We are a community and all are welcome..

Happy birthday to Nicholas Camna on March 22. On March 23 it is Happy Birthday to Brittany Tocci. Happy Birthday to Danyelle Ballard on March 24. Happy Birthday on March 24 to Reed Hill, grandson of Sandy and Larry Hill. On March 27 it is Happy Birthday to Peggy Rappleyea, Eugene Constable and Bob Hermance. On March 28 it is Happy Birthday Desmond Petrioni, grandson of Beth Ballard. Happy Anniversary to Anita and Al Creazzo on March 21.
