Mid-summer of 2021, local business Skaggs Ace Hardware will be celebrating its hundredth year of business. Over these last one hundred years, the Skaggs family has given a lot to the community through both their business and their own personal lives.
In an interview with Tyler Skaggs, the appliance sales manager, he said, “Most of the family members that I know of are all on different boards, school boards and different councils, and different club members throughout the community.”
Tyler also said, “We donate a lot to the school districts: Pratt Community College, Skyline and then Pratt USD. We help out when we can.”

Most people don’t think about art when they look at a memorial, nor do they think about the artistic process and the creative side of it.
Pratt Monuments deals with monuments, benches, fireplaces, signs, countertops, and much more. A type of stone that they specialize in is granite, although they are excellent using any type of stone.
Lori Jones, owner of Pratt Monuments said that helping others creativly express their love was her favorite part of the business.
“I’m able to use my artistic background. The families are so appreciative of us and we help guide them and make it as easy for them as we can at a difficult time,” Jones said.
