Constitution Week in Gilbert Arizona is the largest Constitution Week in the country. Gilbert Constitution Week In 2002, John Lewis, then President of the Gilbert, Arizona Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, asked Bill Norton and Barb Stowell to consider a way to celebrate Constitution Week within the Gilbert, Arizona Stake. The resulting event also included a memorial to the September 11, 2001 attacks, a Constitution Week Fair, a Tribute to the Founder event, and a Family Lesson. The first event succeeded not only in educating Gilbert children about the US Constitution, but also by motivating Bill and Barb to bring this great forgotten American holiday out of the shadows. In 2003, the Constitution Week celebration added the Family Home Evening lesson and an expanded Saturday evening Fair. Distinguished characters from the Colonial Era visited approximately 40,000 students within the Town of Gilbert. 2004 brought continued expansion to the celebration by adding a Scout Night where hundreds of Gilbert Boy Scouts worked on Citizenship in the Nation Merit Badge. http://constitutionweekusa.com/resources/history-of-constitution-week/
