The Chapman Ridge Runners Snowmobile and ATV Club will hold a Yard and Craft Sale from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 1 and 2. They have a huge amount of items with fantastic prices to help everyone out financially with the COVID-19 crisis.
Members have been very generous with their donations. There will be something for everyone, along with craft items from the quilting group that meets at the clubhouse. Everyone is encouraged to come and help the club out. Among the items to be sold are furniture, household items, recreational items, and some clothing and craft items. Proceeds from the sale will be used to aid in the purchase of a new groomer for 2022.
Mapleton Lions Club concludes online auction
Last week the Mapleton Lions Club concluded its month-long online auction. The club thanks the many area businesses and merchants who supplied all the donated items and services to the auction. It is through these donations the club raised funds to continue supporting charities such as the Aroostook Teen Leadership Camp, Camp Adventure, the Lion Eyeglasses Program, Mapleton Recreation Program, Project Graduation, Lions College Scholarships and other charitable community needs. Also the success of the auction was in large part due to the work of Matt Gregg through his online auction site — Greggauctions.com. Finally the club thanks the buyers who purchased the many items in the auction. These purchases made the auction a success.
Mapleton Daze Drive-Thru Stew Night returns
Just a reminder that the Mapleton Daze Committee’s Annual Stew Night will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. (or when sold out) on Saturday, Sept. 25. The dinners can be purchased and picked up at the Mapleton Lions Club in downtown Mapleton across from the Mapleton Diner. The cost will be by donation with a suggested amount of $8 for the meal (main dish, roll, dessert, drink). The menu choice of main dishes will consist of beef stew, chicken stew or American chop suey and as the Committee says,” Let us do the cooking and the dishes for you — What a deal.”
Again this is one of the many fundraising events that the Mapleton Daze hosts each year to keep the events at Mapleton Daze free to everyone who attends. Come out and enjoy some good homemade cooking and support next year’s Mapleton Daze week of fun and excitement.
Mapleton Daze Fall Craft Fair
The Mapleton Daze Committee annual Fall Craft and Vendor Fair is one of the most popular events held prior to the holidays. It was not held last year due to the pandemic, but the Fall Craft Fair & Vendor Fair will be back next month. The Mapleton Lions Hall in downtown Mapleton will be the site of the fair, which will be hosted by the Mapleton Daze Committee. The dates of the fair are Saturday, Oct. 9, starting at 9 a.m. and ending at 4 p.m. The event will be just in time for folks to get their Thanksgiving, and upcoming Holiday shopping done.
At the fair, there will be lots of homemade items and vendor items for sale. Also the Mapleton Daze Committee will have lots of goodies for sale: hats/T-shirts, food, raffle tickets and all occasion/holiday boxes of cards. The proceeds from the sales at the Mapleton Daze Committee booth will be used to cover Mapleton Daze event expenses in June 2022. The committee encourages friends and neighbors to come and support the three towns and their local crafters. Everyone is invited to stop by their table and see what they have available.
The committee reminds everyone that it is very important to follow COVID-19 restrictions by wearing a face covering. Everyone who attends their event will need to wear a face covering.
