Need ideas for Wild West themed activities and holidays

As title says, I need ideas for activities my sims can do in their free time. My legacy is set in 1850s, so no electronics or modern stuff. I would also prefer activities that don't make you gain money, as I'm trying to have my traveler sims struggle for money on purpose.
So far I came up with:
I would also love to hear about theme-fitting holidays, as I'm bad at creating them
I have almost every pack, so I have access to almost every feature. But I play on console, so don't suggest things that involve mods.
Any suggestions is appreciated!

I don’t play on console, but I don’t use mods or CC.

And if they don't already know, they could learn there how to make cheese and nectar. And care for animals and how to grow their own vegetables and fruit. How to preserve food for the winter. To be self-sufficient.
And how to run an off-the-grid farm to save money. And woodworking to make their own furniture.
Cross stitching and knitting to make their own clothes.

Baking is also nice for holidays, especially now that it's something that your sims can do as a group activity.
So certain activities like horse competitions, searching for collectibles, fishing or playing an instrument already fall into the "source of income" category.
But I've completely forgotten about dancing, and playing sabacc with the Batuu table sounds like a very intersting way to make them lose money and made them even poorer.
And instead of picnic (I avoid making them travel out of their lot), maybe barbecue events.
These are really good suggestions! I've decided to add the "Simple Living" trait to every camp they visit, so baking sounds an interesting challenge (and again, a good way to make them spend money with ingredients)
You don't have to exploit those sources of income to the point that they earn too much money. Fishing can tie in with the simple living trait and you can get them to catch their next meal instead of buying it from the grocery store. They could play an instrument for practice not for tips if they just want to entertain themselves. Same with collectibles, don't collect everything, just a few select ones and discard or recycle everything you don't need.
Yes, and if you tell ghost stories around a campfire, you might even have a ghost appear!
You can also use fish to fertilize your plants with instead of selling it.
Also living in the 1800’s is great now with animals and produce as you could use any of those as income in a realistic way….. I do wish we had grocery bins for produce instead of fridges ( for selling ). It makes for a more realistic store than putting fruit and veggies in the fridge, in modern or olden time.
A big barbecue is always timeless fun.
