As 2014 closes, we will be looking back at some of the most popular stories from the year around Schuylkill County. Our second look at the year, we are highlighting the viral sensation "Skook State of Mind".
Matt Freiler, from Deer Lake, was bored one Wednesday afternoon and began writing lyrics. By that evening, he had "Skook State of Mind". He recorded himself and posted it to Facebook. Little did he know it would be viewed and shared hundreds, if not thousands of times.
