Fiddlers to Play At Lions Hall

The Wednesday Evening Fiddlers will return to Mapleton in August. The Haystack Historical Society will host the fiddlers at the Mapleton Lions Hall August 15 at 6 pm.  At last year’s Wednesday Evening Fiddlers event, the audience experienced a delightful evening of music at the Mapleton Lions Hall.

The Wednesday Evening Fiddlers consist of twenty or more musicians who meet regularly on Wednesday Evenings and enjoy playing music together.  Garold Hanscom, general manager of the Wednesday Evening Fiddlers, says, “They are pleased to be able to help organizations like the Haystack Historical Society and the Mapleton Lions Club by putting on musical shows that are enjoyed by all who attend.”  

To help these organizations, donations will be accepted and split between the Haystack Historical Museum and the Mapleton Lions Club. The Society appreciates the Mapleton Lions Club’s willingness to waive the hall rental fee in lieu of splitting the donations received.   There will be light homemade cookies and brownies and Coca-Cola refreshments for sale to benefit the museum.
