January – Almost a year ago, residents shared their opinions on the infamous Turkeys of Main Street (with creative aliases ranging from Honk & Scuttle to Thelma & Louise.)

February – Never ending snow blanketed houses and choked roadways. For more images of the storm impacts, click here and here

March – One of the most read (and the most shared) posts this year was about two missing labs from the Cape.

A reader thought she may have spotted them being picked up by someone in town. Other readers and Facebook followers sought to help locate the dogs. Unfortunately, it was a false lead. The next month, their bodies were discovered in a pond near their home. (Click thumbnail to enlarge the owner’s post. For more, visit Facebook.)

April – The Easter Bunny and candy filled eggs brought joy to tots in Town at the annual Egg Hunt. (Thanks to Kindergroup and sponsors.)
