After his recent victory on the Voice, Jordan Smith was welcomed home with a parade in his honor. Ardent fans from his home county crowded the streets of Harlan, standing shoulder to shoulder with supporters who poured in from outside of the region. At an awards ceremony later that day Smith was honored by several officials, including Representative Hal Rogers, and State representative Rick Nelson. Smith expressed his gratitude to the gathered audience and told them that he believes that “God has a plan for us as a community and as a family”.
