Some history stories, a silent auction, and catered meal and more drew a crowd to Maricopa Historical Society’s first Tales & Treasures supper at Leading Edge Academy Saturday. The afternoon event raised funds for the Society’s activities, such as readying for a future museum and continued preparation of the Silver Horizon railcar for public opening. During the supper, members strolled from table to table sharing historical tidbits from Maricopa.
