Crooks Rodeo
Jun 3, 2015
Crooks hosted its annual rodeo and Community Days May 30-31. Fans have flocked to the little town north of Sioux Falls for last 24 years to see events like barrel racing, steer wrestling, bull riding, team penning and calf roping. Over 70 people competed this year with prize money totaling over $16,000.
Crooks was originally called New Hope. A name change was made in 1904 to honor early settler D.O. Crooks, who acted as depot agent, bank president, waterworks and lighting plant owner, township board member, postmaster and school treasurer. Residents have suffered good-natured ribbing ever since.
