...A weathered old corn crib stood on the Dennis and Lois Shimon farm property south of Rolfe. The paint was bare and peeling, a victim of way too many summers since Dennis Shimon built it in 1954. But the three gleaming Harvestore silos now served their purpose and the crib was pretty much forgotten.
That was until Nancy Foertsch of Algona made the comment, ‘‘this would be a great place for a flag.’’...
