Fundraising continues for the planned Mapleton Splash Pad, with construction expected to begin in the spring.
The fundraising committee is reminding Mapleton residents that tickets for the fundraising raffle will be on sale until Nov. 18.
Prizes include a spa package, camping excursion, fire pit ring, car care package, Toronto Maple Leaf tickets, an hour airplane ride in the local area and more.
Draws take place at the Mapleton’s Got Talent Show on Nov. 18. Tickets are $20 each and are available from members of the Mapleton Splash Pad Committee, Drayton Rotary Club, Drayton Kinette Club and Mapleton firefighters. Tickets can also be purchased in Drayton at a’ la mode and Blooming Dales. In Moorefield, raffle tickets are available at the Moorefield Diner and Changing Seasons Consignment.
The Mapleton’s Got Talent Show takes place on Nov. 18 at 7pm at the Drayton Festival Theatre. Admission is by donation with all proceeds going to the splash pad.
The fundraising continues on Dec. 9 from 5 to 9pm in downtown Drayton with “A Small Town Christmas.” The family-friendly event includes Christmas carolers, story tellers and a display focused on the real meaning of Christmas, featuring local talent and live animals. Plenty of home baking and hot apple cider will be available. Downtown businesses will offer extended store hours during this event. Admission is by donation with proceeds going to the splash pad.
“Thank you to all the businesses and organizations who are selling tickets for the raffle,” said Mapleton Splash Pad Committee member Lori Spaling.
“Your support of this cause is appreciated. A complete sell-out of raffle tickets would boost the fundraising campaign substantially.”
