On Saturday, Nov. 11, the Haystack Historical Society hosted Mapleton Girl Scout Troop 170 at the Haystack Historical Museum.
The girls started the session with a Thanksgiving coloring exercise and a discussion of Veterans Day. Each girl was given a toy soldier to take home and use to remember the importance of the sacrifices our military personnel make.
Following these activities, the Scouts were given a tour of the museum by Dana Allison, a founding member of the society, and Terry Sandusky, vice president of the society. Allison talked about the history of the Old Mill School that now is the museum. Sandusky reviewed the family quilts hanging in the museum and the families in Mapleton represented on the quilts.
Lisa Dean and Amanda Robinson, troop leaders, thanked the historical society for hosting their special session at the museum.

Craft show a success
The Mapleton Daze Committee filled the Mapleton Lions Hall with crafters and vendors over the Nov. 11 and 12 weekend. Both the main hall and downstairs were filled with crafters and vendors. Main Street in downtown Mapleton was lined with vehicles both days as the crowds turned out for holiday craft show.
The success of the craft show helps raise funds for the fireworks show planned for the 2018 Mapleton Daze weekend. The committee and vendors wish to thank everyone who came out to shop at the show.
