The Origins of Hellzapoppin’

In the early days, Hellzapoppin’ attracted Hollywood Cowboys like Gene Autry. The festivities included street dances, a parade, a carnival, a rodeo and the annual Cotton Queen coronation.

Today, Hellzapoppin’ Arena continues to host an annual Rodeo during Buckeye Days in January. The event draws Rodeo professionals from around the country and features a cattle drive down Monroe Ave.
