Picture this: a log floating in the Vermillion River, and it’s covered in painted turtles. Big ones, small ones, some that look like they got in a bar fight. And you know what? They’re all chillin' together, sharing that warm, sun-drenched real estate.

Inclusivity is about making room. It’s about understanding that we’re all trying to get our little moment in the sun, and no one deserves to be pushed off the log. Hastings is a mix of old-timers, new faces, bikers, business owners, artists, and folks who just wandered in for an omelette at The Legion. There’s room for all of us.

HastingsNow.com makes sure everyone gets heard. We’re not just about one voice, one perspective. We shine a light on the whole town because inclusivity isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the way we make sure everyone has a place in our story.
