Kate Hastings performed at the Clark County Fair a month after the accident involving her parents. She previously said the tragedy forced her to deal with a range of emotions.
“We’ve been letting our faith carry us. Faith without action isn’t faith. My dad was a man of God, and he taught us to move forward,” she said.
Her dad inspired her.
“My dad was the hardest worker I’d met, and anyone who knew him knew the last thing he’d want is sadness, and the opposite of honoring him would be to not go on,” Kate Hasting said.
