CONWAY — American Legion Post 95 in North Conway took in over 200 full-size flags on Sunday afternoon for their flag drive. It was a record number, said Steve Woodcock, a Democratic state representative from Conway and member of the post.
Woodcock said Monday that when they put out the call to receive community members' "battered, tattered and torn flags," "we had no idea what a Sunday would yield."
