Nov 14-22, 2009	Gilbert Days – Gilbert Days is a week-long celebration of Gilbert’s rich western heritage coming November 14-22, 2009. The celebration kicks off with the re-enactment of the historical Pony Express ride. The whole family is invited to participate in the ride and other family-friendly activities. The Gilbert Days Parade takes place Saturday morning and is a dazzling spectacle followed by the After Parade Party outside Gilbert Town Hall complete with food, entertainment, and a Chili Cook Off. Next are the showcase events for the cowboys and cowgirls that come from all over the country to participate in the Gilbert Days Jackpot Roping, Competition Barrel Racing and the Gilbert Days Budweiser IPRA Rodeo. Once again the Gilbert Days Budweiser IPRA Rodeo is co-sanctioned by the Grand Canyon State Rodeo Association. But before the adults have their fun, the little ones get to compete in the Lil’ Dudes Rodeo held before each adult rodeo competition. Right next to the Gilbert Rodeo Park arena is the Gilbert Days Carnival featuring rides, games, prizes, and mouth-watering concessions. For a complete schedule visit www.GilbertdaysAZ.com .

Late Nite Catechism By Vicki Quade & Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times, Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, The longest-running play in the Valley is still in a class by itself! Audience members are the students in catechism class, and Patti Hannon is "Sister" in this hilarious interactive comedy.

Late Nite Catechism II: Sometimes We Feel Guilty Because We Are Guilty By Maripat Donovan, Ongoing; call for dates and times,
Stage 2, Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, Single ticket price: $36, That¹s right, the fun continues in Sister¹s second catechism class! You don¹t need to graduate from the first class to enjoy this one; Sister will give extra attention to her slower students. Sister has felt banners, a filmstrip, handouts, historical facts and hysterical insights to explain every nun¹s goal: getting into heaven and bringing along as many of the faithful as possible. Using a special version of Chutes and Ladders to demonstrate her point, Sister tells us where we¹ve gone wrong, and no one is excused from her firm belief that "sometimes we feel guilty because we are guilty."
