Spearville

There are a LOT of wind turbines around Spearville, and they know it. On the edge of town, there's a Windmill Restaurant and a Turbine Bar and Grill. The high school mascot is the Lancers, which is probably a nod to the town's name, but I like to think it's after Don Quixote.

Spearville also has a city pool with water slides, a really nice park where we ate lunch, a business district, and grain elevators. There's a neat old bandshell at the corner of Main and Avenue A, and the downtown streets are brick. The town has a lot of of nice homes, some pretty old and some pretty new. St. John's Church is beautiful and made of brick. Overall, this struck us as a really nice, well-maintained little town.
