‘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.
