CONWAY — It sounds like a scene out of “How the Grinch Stole Christmas.”
Due to factors that include changes in personnel at the Eastern Slope Inn Resort and a lack of sponsorship and volunteer coordination, the “Old-Fashioned Christmas” celebration in North Conway Village that has been held every Thanksgiving Weekend for the last five years won’t happen this season. But North Conway and Conway will forge ahead without a formal celebration, said Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Janice Crawford in a press release in which she noted that despite the lack of tree lightings, “the Grinchmas On Ice skating show is being presented by the MWV Skating Club at the Ham Arena at 5:15 p.m. on Dec. 7, with free public skating to follow, and there will be New Year’s Eve Fireworks at Schouler Park at 9 p.m. on Dec. 31.”
