The first of two February school vacation weeks are in full swing and the North Conway Community Center has been busy.
Valley Promotion’s ninth annual Cupcake Battle was a great success, selling out even before the doors opened. We hope you had a chance to taste and vote among the 17 entrants for the four categories of winners. Batter Up of Chocorua Village took the top professional prize for its popcorn and caramel cupcakes.
