The Demolition Derby, held the second Sunday of September, has been held yearly in Dodge since 1970 and averages 60 entries and 1,000 spectators.
"The Robin's Nest Garden of Hope" is located at Holsten Memorial Park in Dodge. This is a 120 by 80 sq. ft. landscaped garden with flagstone walkway and a gazebo. In 2012, area residents wanted to honor the 1981 Dodge H.S. graduate, Robin Ladehoff Broekemeier after breast cancer claimed her life and pay tribute to others who battled the disease. To help fund the project the Tree Board is selling engraved granite pavers.
