MAPLETON NEWS
by Jennifer Buzza
The Mapleton Daze Committee is looking for volunteers. The Committee is in full swing, getting preparations in order for the 25th Mapleton Daze event. The group has lots of big ideas and events in the works but they cannot do it alone, so new members are being sought to join and help in advertising, activities, fundraising and the parade.
The next meeting will be Tuesday, Jan. 8, at the Mapleton Lions Hall at 6 p.m. You don’t have to be a resident of Mapleton, Castle Hill or Chapman to attend Mapleton Daze — it is for everyone, young and old!
Can’t get out to help? Monetary donations are welcome! Every helping hand and every dollar donated will make this 25th Mapleton Daze a success! Please help us continue this annual tradition. Call Chantelle Chasse, 551-2290, with any questions. Check us out on Facebook!
Fundraiser raffle
The Mapleton Daze Committee will be having a 50/50 twice a month to help raise funds for the 25th Mapleton Daze festivities. Tickets will be sold for $1 each, six for $5, or 12 for $10. Tickets can be purchased in Mapleton at Tenney’s, the Town Office or at Mapleton Lunch.
They can be purchased in Presque Isle at Bradley’s Citgo. If you are on Facebook, leave a message and a Committee member will get in touch with you to purchase tickets. Drawings will be held on the first and third Mondays of each month, with the first one being held on Monday, Dec. 31. For updates, watch the sign in front of the Lion’s Hall, check this column or visit the Committee’s Facebook page. For more information, call Chantelle Chasse at 551-2290.
