Crystal Springs Rodeo


The Crystal Springs Rodeo is held in a former duck pond that is now known as "America's most natural Rodeo Bowl". The natural setting in the grasslands of the Coteau des Prairie crystal springs is in the middle of a pasture on the Crystal Springs Ranch.

It was about 85ยบ at 8:00 PM and about 85% humidity. But as the sun went down, it was a very comfortable evening. There were no bugs bothering us in as we sat in the pasture grass because the grounds had been sprayed for mosquitoes.


This was the 64th year of the rodeo which has become a very popular rodeo in eastern SD.

The evening ended with an awesome fireworks display. It was $14.00 well spent and the first time we attended this rodeo. It won't be our last!
