Let’s face it. 2020 was quite the year from a worldwide pandemic to the third highest flood in Whitley County and Williamsburg history. Just in Whitley County alone, we were pretty much a war and a famine short of having our own Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse…LOL.
Maybe 2020 wasn’t quite that bad, but it was a rough year folks.
On the front page of last week’s News Journal, we detailed the top 10 COVID-19 related stories of 2020, and this week we are detailing the top 10 non COVID-19 stories of 2020 on our front page.
Of course, you just can’t fit all the news from one year into a top 10 list, so here are some other headlines that made news in 2020.
Got an old couch that you want to get rid of, but the garbage man won’t haul it off? Did you get a new dishwasher for Christmas, but aren’t sure exactly what do about that old one sitting in the corner of the kitchen? Are those cardboard boxes that Christmas presents came in piling up in the garage?
If so, you will have multiple chances this year to get rid of these and several other types of items that the garbage man won’t haul off thanks to the Whitley County Fiscal Court’s 2021 Dumpster Program.
The program is set up at different locations throughout the county each month, and allows local residents to drop off various items, such as old furniture, brush, old appliances and several other things.
