Town of Pray to be auctioned on June 27

LIVINGSTON (AP) — The Park County town of Pray is scheduled to be sold at auction later this month.

The five-acre townsite three miles north of Chico Hot Springs has been on the market for $1.4 million for several months without a buyer.

Owner Barbara Walker decided to go with an auction because she wants to focus on her photography career. She says she plans to set a reserve price below which she will have the option to decline officers.

Pray is made up of a closed historic store, a post office, a few mobile homes and a large commercial and residential building.

The June 27 auction will be handled jointly by Shobe Auction & Realty of Lewistown and Mason & Morse Ranch Co. of Glenwood, Colo.
