If you’ve been in Arizona for any time, you’ve heard of Earnhardt Auto Centers and their “No Bull” approach to automobile sales and service. The Earnhardt Auto Centers team also loves and supports all things rodeo, including the 39th Annual Gilbert Days events coming up in November.
This year’s Gilbert Days Rodeo happens November 10-12 at Welcome Home Ranch, 26601 S. Val Vista Drive. Gates open at 4 p.m. on Friday, 2 p.m. on Saturday, and 11 a.m. on Sunday, with competition starting three hours later each day.
While the rodeo is a huge draw, Gilbert Days offers many related events. The Gilbert Days 5K and 1 Mile Run happen Friday, November 17 at Freestone Park. The Mascot Run starts at 4:30 p.m., with the 1 Mile Fun Run at 4:45 p.m. and the 5K Run at 5 p.m. Register online or on site from 3-4 p.m.
