Celebrating our new home!
Friday, October 17th, 2008The Maui Crafts Guild members celebrated the opening of the new store location at 69 Hana Highway, in our long-time home of Pa’ia-town!

Many community members came out to support the joyous re-opening of the Guild.
We thank you, Maui, for your love and support and look forward to the next 26 years…and beyond! Mahalo nui loa!
