Good afternoon RJ,

Reserve your seat this weekend on a magic carpet ride that will transport you to a whole new world. This weekend, the Casa Grande Parks and Recreation Division’s Youth Theater program will perform Disney’s Aladdin Jr. at Vista Grande High School. Who knows, you might meet the next movie star.

And after all that music, you may want to dust off your dancing shoes. The annual Arizona Two-Step Championship is coming up and one of the qualifying events to get into the championship ring will be held in Eloy on July 23.

Also, after all that singing and dancing you might want to stop for some tea and cakes. The Elegance of London is holding a tea party and brunch in Casa Grande on July 23. The event features live music, finger dishes and exotic teas.

Cheers!
