CONWAY — Mount Washington Valley businesses enjoyed a brisk holiday vacation period from Christmas to New Year’s weekend, driven by excellent early-season snowfall, good ski conditions and many options for dining and shopping.
The period also included the first New Year’s Night Out event, which featured a business scavenger hunt, shopping deals, activities and fireworks in Schouler Park.
