Like a one-sided baseball pennant race, the only drama in choosing the top local stories for 2020 is the race for second place.
Letâs face it: COVID-19 was North Platteâs biggest story of the year. Itâll probably be 2021âs biggest story as well.
The pandemic permeated virtually everything that happened after February â even the many local examples of âgood newsâ that thankfully broke through the dark clouds of Americaâs worst health crisis since 1918.
So no one will be surprised at The Telegraphâs choice for 2020âs No. 1 story. Feel free to quibble with our lineup for the others; quite honestly, the rest could easily be shuffled in any order.
