Smile

What makes Faith Hittle smile? “My family,” said the Miss Hamilton County 4-H Fair 2022 Queen a year ago. Hittle, a 2022 Hamilton Heights High School graduate, will crown the 2023 Hamilton County 4-H Fair Queen this Friday night at the 4-H Fairgrounds in Noblesville, where this year’s 4-H Fair is July 20-25. The 10-year 4-H’er and daughter of Joshua and Billie Hittle and former member of Husky 4-H’ers 4-H Club, completed 164 projects in 4-H, Baked Food Preparation in the Foods project being her favorite. She also enjoyed 4-H Camp counseling. At Heights, she was a member of National Honor Society, varsity softball, varsity cheerleading, FFA, Student Government, Spanish Club, Bring Change to Mind Club and Key Club. A year ago, her plans were to attend Manchester University, where she would play softball while studying pre-med to become a pediatric orthopedic surgeon with a minor in Spanish. What does it mean to Hittle to be crowned queen? A year ago, upon being crowned, she said: “It means so much to me. Because I remember looking up to the past queens and knowing that I wanted to be them one day because their kindness is unmatched and the responsibilities that they have now I want, too.”
