LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – As 2020 comes to a close WLAF is sharing the 20 most read stories of the year. These are the stories that caught, and kept the attention, of our readers. This week, we will share those stories in no particular order with four a day being featured.
Among today’s four selections are the results from a 100-MPH chase and likely the year’s most heart warming stories.

TWO – April 2020
