NEW City event!
The Veterans Drive
Enjoy a patriotic drive along the Mapleton Parkway Trail from 1200 N to 400 N in tribute to Veterans in our community.
Vehicles will enter the Parkway Trail from 1200 N and proceed at 5mph on the trail to 400 N. Participants will be able to scan a QR code and listen to narration about our American flag and some of the Military branches' flags.
At the end of the trail, there will be opportunities for residents to donate food, clothes, and money to our local Veterans. We hope you join us!
