Zearing, lowa is the home of the Tri-County State Bank, founded in 1943. Zearing
is also the home of Dick Sparrow's Schlitz 40-Horse Hitch. Forty matched Belgian
draft horses, averaging one ton each are harnessed four abreast, ten deep, and
hitched to the Columbia Bandwagon #62, built in 1897 for Barnum & Bailey Circus.
Ten outriders keep the crowds in control. This team was shown in Milwaukee, July
4, 1972. This is the first time since 1904 that a 40-Horse Hitch has been on parade.
