The White Deer Riding Club holds its Rodeo on the last Friday and Saturday in July every year. On Friday night a free Bar-B-Que meal is served to every ticket holder to the rodeo. The Rodeo is two action packed evenings of excitement and entertainment for the entire family. There are two concession stands and an outdoor dance under the stars after each nights performance.

Alpha Theta Omega Sorority hosts a craft show Saturday and Sunday at the Community Center located on the corner of 5th and Paul Streets the first weekend in November. The Polish Sausage Dinner is always the same weekend. The craft show and sausage dinner are two blocks away from each other on Paul Street so that makes it convenient to get from one event to the next. Come spend a day in November with us here in White Deer and enjoy Polish sausage and the Craft show.
