Ruritans celebrate holidays

Members of the Buckeye Ruritans held their holiday Christmas party at the Grange Hall. The group invited New Alexandria’s village council members. Those in attendance traded gifts and enjoyed a dinner that was catered by Scaffidi’s Restaurant and Tavern. Officials noted the hall has been newly refurbished, with Ruritans performing the cleaning, patching and painting in order to make it a nice venue in which to hold functions. During the evening, the officers for the 2025 year were installed by Ohio District Sec. Frank Kinsey. The installation ceremony included, from left, Kinsey, President Brian Yanssens, Vice President Dara Martin, Secretary Rhonda Hannan and Treasurer Tammy Yanssens.
