The Prattsville Scoop by Abby and Gabby - 05 April 2024

PRATTSVILLE - Continued Happy Easter wishes. Did you get to enjoy Easter with family and friends and you can extend that feeling of renewal for many weeks to come. See picture of the famous Prattsville Easter Bunny with helpers Nancy Kizyma, Cathy Martino, Marianne Krauss, Ginny Gurley and peeking between the Bunny’s ears is Bob Gurley, and Dana Hommel was the photographer.

Speaking of Easter. The two part Easter Egg Hunt and Celebration in Prattsville at Young’s Ace Hardware and the Prattsville Town Green was well attended and everyone had a great time, especially the Easter Bunny. What a joy and addition to the Easter Egg Hunts and Celebration our own Easter Bunny brought to all participants. Thank you to our own Easter Bunny, and his four helpers at Young’s and all those helping Beth on the Prattsville Town Green. Beth Camna of the Prattsville Diner must be thanked many times over for her supervising and organization of the Town Green Celebration. Beth is mom to a one year old, Nicholas Camna, and yet she pulled off a great party for our local children. Beth, you are amazing. Beth calls in her family and friends and the Diner’s staff to keep the party rolling. The American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327, now at Young’s Hardware, has sponsored an Easter Egg Hunt for close to twenty years. If anyone has an exact start up date for that part of the Easter Hunt, please let us know. In the meantime, organizers of Part I and Part II of the egg hunts want to thank everyone for joining in. When organizers for the hunt at Young’s were a little overwhelmed, Debbie Baker and Sandy Martin stepped in with helping hands and good spirits. Thank you ladies and your offers of future help is something we can bank on. Community spirit in Prattsville is alive and well.

Had a fun filled conversation with Nancy Howard. Books enjoyed and recommended and renewing family connections, as in cousins, were exchanged. Will return your book Nancy – on the last few chapters, and, yes, it is a page turner. Point of information: Jim’s Great American has a small box of paperback books at the first register that are there for exchange, free of charge. As with most book exchanges, “take one – leave one” is encouraged but not mandated.

Mary A. of Ashland, with daughter Jean and granddaughter Ava, attended both Easter Egg Hunts in Prattsville on Saturday before Easter. Their first stop was at Young’s Ace Hardware for the Easter Egg Hunt sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327. After joining in the hunt, After that, Ava took her grandmother and mother to the Easter Egg Hunt and all the other activities on the Prattsville Town Green, hosted by the group under Beth Camna’s organization, including Beth’s family members, friends and the Prattsville Diner Staff. Mary said her daughter and granddaughter would be staying a few days after Easter and was looking for activities to keep them busy.

Theresa Gier of Grand Gorge got in on the last few minutes of aforesaid conversation. She was really pleased that all the candy she had ordered arrived in time for her husband Ed’s Easter basket. Theresa, “for Ed”, really?

American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 members helping to prepare for the Easter Egg Hunt at Young’s were Nancy Kizyma, Cathy Martino, Debbie Wandursky, Marianne Krauss, and Ginny Gurley aided by Legionnaires Dana Hommel and Bob Gurley.
