Hopefully, the winter snows and subzero temperatures are behind us once again. I am so looking forward to Spring. This past fall, our dedicated Horticultural Committee planted hundreds of flower bulbs around the Hayner, and we can’t wait to see how beautiful they will be when they begin blooming. The amazing colors of spring will make the Hayner even more spectacular! But the wonder of spring isn’t just happening outside the Hayner—spring means increased events & programming inside the Hayner as well. As you can see from all the activities in this E-News, we truly have something for everyone here at the Hayner!
Hope to see you soon—

Pysanka – Ukranian Eggs Solarium
Ukrainian Eggs or “pysanka,” are now on display at the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center. Artist Christina Pereyma O’Neal is a first generation Ukrainian American and a Troy resident. Following family folk art tradition, Christina, her late mother Aka Pereyma, her sister Vaka Pereyma and her daughter Helen O’Neal created these symbolic decorated eggs. These eggs contain important symbolism both universal and personal. Traditionally the eggs were given mythological powers and were used as talismans to ward off misfortune. Christina tells of the legend of a monster who lives in the Carpathian Mountains. It is said that if people are kind to one another and faithfully make the pysanka eggs, the chains will tighten on the monster in the mountain. In this way the decorated eggs offer protection.
