The Prattsville Scoop: Easter Egg Hunt on April 8 in Prattsville

Regardless of the weather, the ladies of Prattsville are on the move, as follows: The Ladies of the Last Friday of the Month Luncheon Club got together at the Windham Diner on Friday the 24th. Those attending were their fearless leader Carol Landers. Ginny Kennedy, Joanne Dunphy, Mabel?, Diane Eklund and Shelly Brainard. No news on what the topics of conversation were.

Shelly Brainard and daughter Stephanie Braswell had the pleasure of taking in the play “Hamilton” at Proctor’s on Thursday the 23rd. They returned with the opinion that it was one of the best plays they were privileged to see. Good for them. Proctor’s does present top of the list plays and one very good organist when her physical condition allows her to perform. Isn’t that right Claudia? Others attending Hamilton on one of the days were Bonnie and Lester Chase, Chris Tompkins and daughter Anna, Heather Gockel and her mother. Glad we have a facility to bring us the plays to enjoy.

Members of the American Legion Auxiliary Virgil E. Deyo Unit 1327 made a shopping trip to Kingston to purchase eggs and candy for their Easter Egg Hunt to be held at 11 a.m. April 8 at Young’s Ace Hardware Store, Prattsville. The EASTER BUNNY will be in attendance. The public is invited to come and enjoy the EASTER BUNNY and refreshments. Photos are permitted and encouraged.

Many attended the calling hours for the late Frankie Hermance at Aston Basagic Funeral Home in Hunter on Tuesday, the 21st. His family, co-workers and friends were there to pay their final respects and share memories of Frankie. His memorial services followed on the following day. Everyone knew Frankie and his many friends were there from Lexington, West Kill and Prattsville and other mountaintop towns. Our condolences to his family.

A belated birthday dinner for Rob Gurley was held Saturday, the 25th at his dad’s, Bob Jr. with a corned beef and cabbage dinner. The menu was also a week late, being the annual St. Patrick’s day dinner. Bob Jr. is proud of his way around the kitchen and the corned beef dinner is one of his best. Delicious. Those enjoying the dinner were assistant chef Jen Traver, Bob and Ginny Gurley, Rob and friend Amanda, and Christina Gurley and her son Tanner. An ice cream birthday cake for Rob, his favorite, was the dessert.

Did you hear Chad O’Hara’s name mentioned on TV? He was MC’ing the fund raiser, not sure now what the cause was for, in Saratoga. Chad is the son of our Ann O’Hara and Prattsville can lay claim to a part of him. Chad’s daughter Katy is following in her Dad’s footsteps. You will hear her name as leading some fundraiser. We thank them both for their volunteerism and generosity of their time and efforts.

Anita Creazzo can use our prayers and best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. Husband Al and great friends Pat and Tony Bifolco and the Breigles are watching over Anita’s care and well being. Get well Anita.
