Ellenton is a very family-oriented community. The favorite place for the men to congregate and talk over local news is at the "lazy bench" at the Whistle Stop store. They have a parade every year before Christmas with antique cars and horse drawn wagons and carriages with Santa bringing up the rear.
Several Ellenton residents are into the hobby of plowing with horses and mules. They have plow days at different times during the year. The objective is to keep the art of horse plowing alive so the young people can see how it was in the past.
