CONWAY — On a beautiful sunlit day, more than 250 people gathered Thursday in North Conway’s Schouler Park for Veterans Day ceremonies presented by American Legion Post 95 of North Conway, assisted by Post 46 of Conway and featuring the playing of the Kennett High Band.
The ceremonies followed a parade from John H. Fuller Elementary School that went up Pine Street and then headed down Main Street to Norcross Circle and the park.
