Arthur C Sims III, 8, drives one of his family's tractors, a 1943 John Deere H, in the Sedalia Heritage Day parade Saturday on South Ohio Avenue. The Horace Mann Elementary School third-grader has been driving tractors for several years and participates in tractor pulls said his father, Arthur Sims Jr., behind the boy. Event organizer, Terry Cockrell, said the Sedalia Heritage Day is a "spin-off of the city's centennial celebration". Last year's celebration involved a block party and car show, Cockrell said, and this year it is a downtown parade followed by a lunch at Hubbard Park with free entertainment and food. "We wanted to provide the community with an event where they are appreciated, it's not east side or west side, it is their own event," he said.
