CONWAY — On Friday morning, board members of Jen’s Friends gathered at the base of Cranmore to set up the tables and displays inside Zip’s Pub, getting ready for today’s 25th Jen’s Friends “Climb Against Cancer,” which starts with registration at 8 a.m. and the climb at 9:30 a.m.
Jen’s Friends Board President Erik Chandler backed up his E.G. Chandler pickup truck near the Skimobile car exhibit, and items were carried into Zip’s.
