Additional Photos
In 1971, Dick Sparrow and his 20-Horse Hitch made an appearance during the annual Labor Day Parade.
These were driven in the 10th anniversary of the Schlitz Circus Parade in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the Fourth of July, 1972.
Later that summer, the Zearing community threw a homecoming celebration for Dick and the 40-Horse Hitch on Labor Day, September 2, 1972. Iowa Governor Robert D. Ray was grand marshal as over 50,000 people poured into our little town to see this once-in-a-lifetime event.
