Top 10 Overall Stories for PortageLife in 2016

2016 is nearing its end and we've been taking a look at all of our best stories from the year with our Top 10 lists for each section of our site. It's been a great year for good news in Portage, and we're excited to see all the positive things 2017 has to offer us!
