Mapleton Parkway Trail, Nov. 6, 8 a.m.-9 p.m.
All of us owe a tremendous debt to the veterans who gave so much for their country. Mapleton will honor those men and women with the Veteran’s Drive, which the city website says: “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. At the end of the trail, there will be opportunities for residents to give a monetary donation to our local Veterans and learn of other ways you can support local veteran owned businesses. We hope you join us!”

3. Flowers for Mrs. Harris
The Ruth and Nathan Hale Theater, Nov. 1-15, 7:30 p.m.
It’s the final weeks for this delightful musical, so you better act fast if you want to check it out. The theater website describes it by saying: “A charming new musical based on the book that also inspired the beloved film Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris! When housekeeper Ada Harris discovers something breathtaking, she sets off on a journey that will change her life. From post-war London to magical Paris, Ada’s presence transforms others, yet she grapples with releasing her past. Can she allow her life to bloom?”
