Please note: Here is a correction on information published last week. JC’s Outdoors in Gilbert did not host the Derrick Team Realty’s sixth annual Fall Festival. The event was just held there. The Derrick Team Realty hosted and presented the festival. The Derrick Team is not affiliated with Keller Williams; the business is now known as Derrick Team Realty LLC. Sorry for the error.
