It began in a pasture on a Flint Hills ranch in 1937, just a display of local ranch talent. By the next year, the event had been named the "First Annual Flint Hills Rodeo." Today, the Flint Hills Rodeo is the oldest consecutive rodeo in Kansas, an annual 3-day event that celebrates the legacy of ranching and the cowboy way. Evening performances are held Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m. with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. Following the evening performances, there is a cowboy dance. On Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m., the annual rodeo parade from Cottonwood Falls through Strong City is held, an occasion when nearly every horse in Chase County comes to town to strut their stuff! There is also cowboy church on Sunday morning.
