The Crystal Springs Ranch Rodeo in Clear Lake, South Dakota was one that I have been looking forward to all year. In 2007 the Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association named this rodeo best small rodeo of the year and they were a finalist in 2008 as well. This rodeo is so unique because it takes place in an old duck pond; the rodeo fans sit on the side of the hill surrounding the arena. The Sutton rodeo company outdid themselves again at this special rodeo. I enjoyed carrying flags during the rodeo performances and participating in the parade with fellow queens, Kristina Maddocks, JMRSD 2008 and Becca Stevens the Jackrabbit Stampede Ambassador. The highlight of my trip at the Crystal Springs Ranch Rodeo was when the entire crowd was prompted by announcer Steve Kenyon to scream, “Hello Courtney” as I was clearing cows from the arena. I have never had such a loud welcome!
