Holiday Spirit Invades Paonia
Paonia Chamber Organizes Holiday Festivities December 4-6
This December 4, 5 and 6, the Paonia Chamber of Commerce is washing Paonia in holiday spirit so thoroughly that even your holly jolly will be intimidated. “We noticed that a lot of our businesses and organizations were already planning holiday events, and thought that this was the perfect place for the Chamber to get involved and help coordinate marketing for all the events,” says Board President, Mike Drake. The result? An abundance of events, ranging from wine tastings to art fairs, to hay rides and a visit by Santa, appropriate for all ages and interests. Complete details are available on the Chamber’s website at: http://paoniachamber.com/paonia-holiday-festivities-2015/ and also listed below:
