"Firewheel" is now brightly gracing this corn crib just north of Reinbeck.  The corn crib was built in 1943 and was resided with steel after the current owners bought the acreage in 2000. 
The Schmidt family is involved with 4-H and they raise poultry and rabbits for showing at the Grundy County Fair.  Rick Schmidt is also a volunteer fire fighter/EMS for Reinbeck and works for the Cedar Falls Fire Department.  That is why the block and colors for "Firewheel" were picked. 
This block was mounted with the help of Alliant Energy on July 17, 2008.
