Christmas Barn Dance

A new holiday tradition will be introduced this season to usher in the Christmas spirit. We're having a Christmas barn dance where all the music for dancing will be set to Christmas carols and songs. Plan on coming to The Barn in Mapleton on the evening of December 9th for an unforgettable Christmas experience.

We hope you'll bring a variety of snacks, (not just sweet ones) to balance out the pot luck table. Please bring your instruments, dancing shoes and a snack to share. The fun will begin at 7:00 so plan on being right on time.

Below are some very detailed directions to The Barn in Mapleton:

From Provo:
Proceed on 900 East Southbound (to the end of the road where it comes to a stop light right in front of Provost Elementary School and across the street from the Provo Cemetery).

Turn left and go to Springville (this road becomes Springville Main St.).
Go straight through Springville to the south end of town. When you pass the final stop light on 400 South get in the right lane which, in about 2 blocks, veers to the right then circles around to the left. This road will take you toward Mapleton. You will drive for about 3 miles.

Follow this road south until you see a green street sign (very small street corner sign) on the right that says 1600 South (Mapleton--not Springville). Turn left and go toward the mountain.

Turn left on 1250 E. (Nemelka Lane) "The Barn" will be a few yards down that road on the right. The barn is red and quite new looking.

From the Freeway (north or southbound):
Take exit 263 and go east (toward the bigger mountains--not the small ones to the west). This becomes 400 South in Springville. The second stop light is Springville's Main Street.

Turn right and stay in the right lane which, in about 2 blocks, veers to the right then circles around to the left.
This road will take you toward Mapleton. You will drive for about 3 miles.

Follow this road south until you see a green street sign (very small street corner sign) on the right that says 1600 South (Mapleton--not Springville). Turn left and go toward the mountain.

Turn left on 1250 E. (Nemelka Lane) "The Barn" will be a few yards down that road on the right. The barn is red and quite new looking.
