Other rodeo related activities include a rodeo kickoff parade, western dress contests and dances the last two night of the rodeo.

The Old Settlers parade is also held the last day of the rodeo and a free barbecue for the settlers is held on the courthouse lawn after the fiddlers contest and other activities of a pioneer theme.
