Spring in Mapleton begins in 18 days, and the first spring event will be the Mapleton Daze Drive-Thru Spaghetti Dinner on March 26.
Mapleton Daze is scheduled at the end of June as the first and largest event in Mapleton for the summer. The Mapleton Daze Committee announced the dinner will be held at the Mapleton Lions Hall on March 26, from 4:30 to 6 p.m. or until the food is gone.
The meal will consist of spaghetti with the choice of meat sauce of just plain sauce with roll, a homemade dessert and a bottle of water and/or can of soda. The committee will be accepting donations to fund this summer’s Mapleton Daze, however they do suggest a donation of $10 for each meal combo.

This year’s dinner will take place on Saturday, March 26, at the Mapleton Lions Hall on Main Street. Diners can purchase dinners to take home and enjoy with family and friends. Proceeds will fund the 2022 Mapleton Daze in June.
