It’s hard to believe that another great year is in the history books, but here we find ourselves at the end of 2017 and we have begun to assess our year in writing. There are so many ways to go about this, it’s difficult to choose just one. As a group, we each selected our favorite and most memorable articles. We then visited the analytics on our website for the hard numbers. But, it didn’t feel like it was enough. You see, ShoreBread was created as a means of communication to our local community. We enjoy writing about local events and the new businesses that open each year. We like sharing those hidden gems out there with you so that you can enjoy them just as much. More than that, we enjoy your feedback and response to the information that we provide. Therefore, it only made sense to refer to our social media outlets for the answers we were looking for. In this article, the very last of 2017, we share with you the top 7 articles of the year. These are the articles that had the highest organic reach because of you, our loyal readers.

Thank you to everyone for an amazing year. As we spend this day looking back on the last 364 and dreaming of the wonderful things to come, we hope that you can do the same. From our ShoreBread family to yours, we would like to wish everyone the healthiest and happiest of New Years!
