Mapleton Daze Fall Craft Fair gears up

5 years ago

Lynelle Foster, Mapleton Daze president, invites everyone to the next Mapleton Daze Fundraiser for the 2020 Mapleton Daze, which will be the Mapleton Daze Annual Fall Craft and Vendor Fair.  

The craft fair will be held on Oct. 12 at the Mapleton Lions Hall, 1713 Main Street, Mapleton.  The fair will start at 9 a.m. and end at 4 p.m. This craft fair will be just in time to get your Halloween, Thanksgiving, and upcoming Holiday shopping done.  Approximately 30 crafters and vendors will be at the hall with homemade items and vendor items for sale.  

Mapleton Daze organizers hold two craft fairs each year, one in the fall and one in the spring.  The Daze weekend always requires lots of support both in volunteer work and fundraising, so come and support our small community and our local crafters and small business folks.

First Friday luncheon

The monthly First Friday Luncheon will take place at 11:30 a.m. this Friday, Oct. 4, at the Mapleton Methodist Church. 

There is hope for a beautiful fall day to come out for an excellent luncheon.  Some of our local snowbirds will have already left for warmer areas of the country, but some freshly harvested potatoes may be on the menu for those friends and neighbors attending.  The chefs are planning an enjoyable lunch for everyone.  

While the food is always delicious, the real joy is being with longtime friends as well as making new friends and sharing family updates, stories and memories.   Remember there is no charge for the lunch, but donations will be accepted.  

Tri-Town Seniors  

Starting this coming Monday, Oct. 7, the Mapleton, Chapman and Castle Hill Senior Citizens group will resume their 2019-2020 monthly luncheons. The group holds two potluck luncheons at the Mapleton Methodist Church on the first and third Mondays of each month from October to June.  

The group engages in a wide variety of activities besides having a terrific potluck lunch.  They discuss issues such as dealing with dementia, consumer fraud and town issues. Sometimes they just have fun doing craft projects such as making soap, Christmas decorations or May baskets.  Occasionally, there is is a semi-serious Bingo session.  

If you are over age 55, you are invited to attend and join the group.  Plan on attending the Oct. 7 meeting of the Mapleton, Chapman and Castle Hill Seniors for a great meal and a pleasant time with friends and neighbors.
