It is time to take one last look back at 2017. According to Google Analytics, the second year of this blog found 67 stories and 6,732 views. It was seen by people in 52 countries. The top five after the United States: Canada, China, Mexico, Philippines, and Ireland. With all that production, it is appropriate to take one quick look back over the shoulder before stepping into 2018. Here is a look at 2017. Our little town was pretty busy!
If I were to give awards to story topics, then this is how it would follow…

Fun, but the most out of my comfort zone were Sims Barbershop, the SCHS Turkey Chase 5 K, and flying high at Sevier Air.
My favorite new event: the United Way Progressive Dinner.
Most relaxing story: Oak Haven Spa.
