Looking for the purrfect place for a date on Nov. 5? Grab your hat and a couple of tickets to Dogs, Cats and Cowboy Hats, a fundraiser for Pinal County Animal Care and Control. The fundraiser is being hosted by Girl With a Black Dog, a local organization that raises money for animal shelters. There will be food, music, a silent auction and several special guests.

Allergic to fur? Maybe chrome, rather than claws, is more your speed. In that case, CrossRoads Church of Casa Grande is holding its 4th annual Casa Grande Thunderfestcustom car and bike show that same day. Besides all of the custom rides, you can also feast your eyes on a new Lucid vehicle. The luxury electric car company is giving the public a chance to get a close-up with one of its vehicles.

Don’t forget to get a little gift to go with that date! You can find the perfect gift, and donate to a great cause by bidding on one of the many items, dinners or trips being auctioned as part of the annual Bids for Kids fundraiser for the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Sun Corridor. The online auction started Oct. 14 and ends at noon on Oct. 26.
