Celtic Flair at Saturdays Farmers Market
Cameron County Farmers Market
🎻✨ Add a little Celtic flair to your Saturday morning! ✨💃
We’re so excited to welcome the incredibly talented Essy Brackbill to the Cameron County Farmers Market stage this weekend, Saturday, June 14th, at the Emporium Town Square!
If you’ve never seen traditional Irish dance in person, now’s your chance!
Known for its rapid, rhythmic footwork and upright posture, Irish dance has deep roots in Celtic history.
It dates back centuries and was originally performed at community gatherings, social dances, and local celebrations. Over time, it evolved into a globally recognized art form, blending storytelling, cultural pride, and competitive sport—all set to the spirited sounds of fiddles, flutes, and bodhráns.
And speaking of spirited performances…
Essy Brackbill, just 15 years old, is a rising star in the world of Irish dance! Encouraged by her Irish-heritage father, Jarred, she began dancing at just 3 years old—and it was love at first step. Her early performances with Rebel Heart Irish Dancers gave her confidence on stage, and by 7 years old she was dancing at Irish festivals and entering competitions.
Since the age of 10, Essy has been training under the guidance of the Carraig School Of Irish Dance, where she’s dedicated countless hours to mastering the precision, speed, and athleticism the tradition demands. Her hard work has paid off, Essy has placed in several competitions over the years, including taking 1st place at Nationals just last year! 🏆
Whether she’s quick-stepping, toe-tapping, or high-kicking across the stage, Essy’s performances are absolutely mesmerizing. Her dream is to one day compete in Ireland, the birthplace of this beloved tradition, but for now, we’re lucky to have her light up our local stage with talent, energy, and passion.
Catch one of her three performances between 9am and 12pm this Saturday and stick around to enjoy everything else the market has to offer—fresh produce, handmade crafts, delicious food, and local community spirit!
You won’t want to miss this special blend of tradition, talent, and hometown pride.
The next Farmers Market is Saturday, June 14th, downtown Emporium.

Marie C. Ramarge
Marie C. Ramarge, 89, of Emporium, PA, passed away peacefully on Monday morning, June 9, 2025, at Penn Highlands Elk in St. Marys.
She was born June 11, 1935, in Sinnamahoning, PA, a daughter of the late Grace Snyder. Marie was a woman of quiet strength and deep affection, remembered especially for her unwavering love for family.
On October 16, 1993, in Emporium, she married James Ramarge, who survives. Together, they shared over 31 years of companionship and care.
Marie was employed at Lewis and Hockenberry for many years and was known for her steady work ethic and friendly spirit. Though modest in nature, she touched many lives with her warmth and kindness.
She was a devoted mother to her beloved late daughter, Jennifer Wolfe, whom she loved dearly and carried in her heart every day. Marie also shared a special bond with her nieces and nephew—Gini Schager and Judy Armanini, both of Emporium, and James Ball of Sinnamahoning. She was a constant and loving presence in their lives.
In addition to her daughter and mother, she was preceded in death by her brother, James Ball and a nephew Danny Ball.
Private services will be held at the convenience of the family. Marie will be laid to rest in Gilmore Cemetery, Austin, PA.
Though she is gone from this world, Marie’s legacy of love and devotion lives on in the hearts of those who knew her. She will be dearly missed.
