On July 1 Mapleton will be celebrating Canada Day as usual at the Drayton Fairgrounds.
From 5 to 7pm the Mapleton Fire and Rescue Department will be hosting a chicken dinner.
For $15 adults can get a half chicken, salads, a roll and a pop, while for kids $10 will buy a quarter chicken, salads, a roll and a pop.
Tickets are available at the Daisy Mart in Drayton or from any volunteer member of the fire department.
Beach volleyball, as well as water ball, will take place at the fairgrounds at 7pm.
At dusk the fire department will offer its regular fireworks display, which has become one of the most impressive in the area over the years. This year the display has been supported by the township.
Organizers are welcoming everyone to come out for the Mapleton Canada Day celebrations.
There is no charge to get into the events, but the fire department is accepting donations to the muscular dystrophy and multiple sclerosis societies.
