History of the Crown: Miss Rodeo South Dakota

The heart shape showcased in the Miss Rodeo South Dakota crown has been apart of our history since 1971 when it appeared in rhinestones. In 1979, South Dakota was graced with a wire traveling crown that featured the very recognizable heart shape.

After 14 years, the wire crown was retired andMiss Rodeo South Dakota was fortunate to receive a traveling, custom Cary Schmidt sterling silver piece that took its place.

The heart-shaped silver crown sat on the hats of 27 Miss Rodeo South Dakotas
before it was retired in 2019. 2020 brought Miss Rodeo South Dakota the blessing of an exquisite Landstrom’s Black Hills Gold crown sponsored by Red Wilk Construction.

This crown gives a nod to the history of our crowns by featuring the iconic heart shape (making Miss Rodeo South Dakota easy to spot in a crowd), an outline of our beloved state of South Dakota, rose quartz (South Dakota’s state mineral stone) and of course, the ever-stunning Black Hills Gold. Miss Rodeo South Dakota is honored to share
the beauty of her state through this crown, and we look forward to it resting in our “hearts” for years to
come.
