CONWAY — Greetings from Mudville, a.k.a. North Conway, home of “Muddy Board Games”-themed Mud Bowl, the championships of mud football, Sept. 11-13, with today’s activities highlighted by the Tournament of Mud Parade at 9:30 a.m.
Alec and Ace Tarberry will be representing their Berry Companies as grand marshals of the annual procession, first held in 1981 and always one of the more colorful parades of the year. The Berry Companies own and operate the Eastern Slope Inn Resort, now celebrating its 100th anniversary, as well as many other properties in North Conway Village and Attitash Mountain Village.
