Pa's Tasty Treats is named after and in honor of Raymond Newsom. He was known to co-workers as "dad" and to his family as "poor ole' pa" or "Pa Ray". He used to sell sno cones out of the trunk of his car, using a shaved ice machine. He always wanted to open an ice cream shop but never did. So, we would like to start that business to honor his legacy. This is a family-owned and operated business, and we strive to provide excellent products at reasonable prices!
