A two-year-old boy reported missing, was found minutes later at the county fair — where he had driven himself.
Minnesota toddler Kenneth Allen wanted to go to the county fair by any means possible; and he managed to get there, all on his own, thanks to his motorized John Deere toy tractor.
For about a week, Kenneth and his parents had watched the Chisago County Fair set up at the fairground less than two blocks from their home. Kenneth had obviously taken particular note. Simultaneously, state representative Brian Johnson was also nearby and spotted Kenneth. “I overheard two women asking a young boy for his name near the entry gate of the fair,” he tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “As a retired Deputy Sheriff, I knew that something was amiss and I stepped in. Believing that this young child was at the fair on his own, I contacted the Chisago County Deputies at the fairgrounds for assistance.
Kenneth’s parents were relieved and upset."I was glad to see him, but the first thing I did was pop the hood, pulled his battery and said you’re grounded," Kenneth’s dad Kristopher told Fox 9. Kenneth’s tractor usually pulls a trailer, which he had abandoned for his jaunt to the fair, presumably to drive faster.
