CHRISTMAS ON THE PRAIRIE MyEagleNews.com Wednesday, November 27, 2019 A3 ‘A Vintage Christmas on the Prairie’ is a hit By Angel Carpenter Blue Mountain Eagle Prairie City was abuzz with activity Saturday for “A Vintage Christmas on the Prairie.” Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus arrived on an old-fashioned horse and buggy at the Prairie City Teen Center with a long line of children waiting, eager to share their wishes with the jolly ol’ elf. Halle Armichardy, 6, of John Day said she asked Santa for a Barbie DreamHouse, and her younger sister Finley, 4, asked for a guitar. Anna Jacobs, 9, of Prai- rie City asked Santa for a real hedgehog. “They really soft and cute, and they’re nocturnal,” she said. Anna’s cousin Blake, 6, said a set of face paints is on her list, and her sister Reece said she would like to find a Fitbit under the tree this year. Cole Stoneman of Prai- rie City, 2 1/2, told Santa he’d like a play horse, and his brother Miles, 4 1/2 said he’d like a train. A Christmas bazaar, spon- sored by the American Legion Auxiliary Unit 106, was a hit at the Prairie City School caf- eteria with an array of poten- tial gifts and stocking stuffers, including wood crafts, dec- orations, hand-sewn or cro- cheted items, essential oils and more. This year’s event also fea- tured a wreath crafting activ- ity; pets photos with Santa, benefiting Hope 4 Paws; and tours of historic homes, including Hotel Prairie. The annual event has been a tradition in Prairie City for over 20 years.
