CONWAY — Talk of speeders and gun enthusiasts livened up an otherwise dry Conway Municipal Budget Committee session Wednesday night.
The committee met at 6 p.m. at Kennett High School, holding hearings on the Center Conway, East Conway and Redstone Fire Precinct annual budgets, as well as the town and school budgets.
