Other than alcohol sales, can you point to any specific examples that are still in force or being enforced?

Yes.

According to Wikipedia's Blue law page:
Quote:
In Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Minnesota, Missouri, Oklahoma, New Jersey, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, car dealerships continue to operate under blue-law prohibitions in which an automobile may not be purchased or traded on a Sunday.
Also, it is illegal to hunt on Sunday in Maine. A recent effort to carve out an exception was unsuccessful.
