Smile

What makes Isaiah Butler smile? “The Pedal Tractor Pull,” said the 7-year-old Noblesville resident. He was found competing and winning the Youth Pedal Tractor Pull, for ages 6-7, at the Hamilton County 4-H Fair in Noblesville. “I never practiced,” the first-time competitor said immediately after the contest. “I did do Ninja class, so probably that’s why I am so strong,” he said. What else helped him win the Pedal Pull? “I do back rolls, and sometimes I do flips in the air.” How does he strengthen his legs for pedaling the tractor? “I ride a bike,” said Isaiah, who showed off his shiny Hamilton County Farm Bureau Young Agrileaders 2023 Pedal Pull trophy. He is a second-grader at Our Lady of Grace Catholic School in Noblesville and is the son of Austin and Rachel Butler. He loves attending the 4-H Fair and participated in the Mini 4-H Camp earlier this year. Favorite activity at the 4-H Fair? “Pedal Tractor Pull.” Favorite fair food? “Milkshakes.” Find a photo of Isaiah competing in the Youth Pedal Tractor Pull at the Fair on Page 2 in Wednesday’s edition of The Times.
