This Saturday evening the Paia Merchants Association is hosting their annual Paia Gives event. This is an opportunity to take care of some of your holiday shopping, support local non-profits and have a good time. Merchants will be open late with many offering refreshments and/or entertainment. Each merchant has selected a local non-profit to support. Some will be supporting the non-profits via raffles for store merchandise others will be donating a portion of the night’s sales to their chosen non-profit. The Paia Merchants Association will also be unveiling their new Paia Gives Card. This $15 card entitles you to discounts with participating shops and restaurants for the next year. A list of some of the discounts offered may be found on the Paia Town website. The event runs from 6-9:00 PM. I have had a blast the last couple of years attending Paia Gives. We hope to see some of you out and about on Saturday.
