The reception overflowed with laughter and fun stories as family, friends and staff from Terry’s Pharmacy and Refuel IV, Pryse’s business, gathered.

“Well, I ‘m a little bit overwhelmed, not used to being the center of attention. Though I’m proud. I love my town, La Follette. I love what I do, and I love all the people who are here to support me,” said Pryse.
“Oh, and Merry Christmas,” added Pryse.
