CONWAY — Well before retailers decided that the Christmas shopping season starts the day after Halloween, Settlers Green — North Conway’s largest outlet mall — was banking on Veteran’s Day as the start of the holiday shopping season. For 18 years, the annual Bring A Friend shopping event at Settlers Green has ushered in the holiday shopping season with Black-Friday-like offers, coupons and the now-famous “bags,” and entertainment on Veteran’s Day weekend.

It all started nearly two decades ago with an effort to move the needle on November tourism in the valley.
