Over 40 youth, ages 12 and under, competed in the Maple Crest kiddie tractor pull during the Bluffton Fall Festival in late September.

In Class 1, (the lighter-weight class), Luke Ginther won first place, Nick Lovett was second, and Connor McKean was third.

In Class 2, Eden Nygaard won first place, Lane Wildermuth was second, and Hunter Kuhbander was third. 

In Class 3, Eli Lemley won first place, Sykler Scoles took second place, and Seth Gallup finished in third place.

Each class was determined by weight, as the children strove to accomplish a “full pull.”  Winners received a home-made wooden tractor created by Wayne Shafer, a duplex resident at MHCO.
