Museum-goers can learn more about Scottsdale’s history in a diverse range of locations, from Scottsdale Historical Museum, to the Hoo-hoogam Ki Museum and the Sylvia Plotkin Judaica Museum, each of which features exhibits relating to different aspects of local history.

Cliff Garrett Memorial Rodeo has been going on for 51 years and counting. Spectators are welcome and encouraged to come watch the wild rodeo fun, but have to be employees of Arizona divisions of AiResearch/Garrett/AlliedSignal/Honeywell companies. The rodeo runs in late October and admission is $8 for adults and $5 for children, age six to twelve. The proceeds benefit Arizona charities.
