North Conway Community Center summer campers respond as they listen to director Carrie Burkette read “The Giving Tree” by Shel Silverstein in the gazebo in North Conway Thursday. From left, Anthony Holmes, Colton White and Lola Monica react to the part when the boy returns as an old man and all the tree has left to give was her trunk so the boy could make a boat and sail away which made the tree happy. After reading time the group went to the plant flowers and grasses in the old hollow trunk from the maple tree that had been cut down near the playground. (JAMIE GEMMITI PHOTO)

CONWAY — Although the little blue cabin — also known as the Gibson playground cabin or summer house — that sat on North Conway Community Center land in North Conway was razed last Friday morning, several elements of the structure were salvaged, to hopefully be used in a future building on the site.
The Gibson-Woodbury Foundation paid for the $3,000 cost of removal, according to Carrie Burkett, celebrating her first anniversary this week as general manager of the non-profit North Conway Community Center.
