The first Mapleton spring event was held Saturday, March 26, by the Mapleton Daze Committee and was their annual drive-thru spaghetti dinner.
The committee wanted to say thanks to everyone who came out for meals and made donations to help fund the 2022 Mapleton Daze week. The committee promises that Mapleton Daze 2022 will be an awesome time because of the generosity of the community and beyond.

By holding the fair at the school, there will be lots of space for crafters and vendors as well as space for buyers to move between booths. Everyone is invited to come and browse the school, which will be filled with talented local people. There will be more than 35 crafters and vendors coming to the fair.
The Easter Bunny will be making an appearance at the craft fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those attending may bring their phones or other cameras to get pictures of the little ones as they visit with him.
At the moment the Mapleton Daze Committee plans on requiring people to wear masks. This requirement could change as the date comes closer.
So mark your calendars and plan to attend the Spring Craft and Vendor Fair in order to support the 2022 Mapleton Daze.
