CONWAY — Local Veterans Day observances are taking on a different look throughout much of Mount Washington Valley this year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with some towns opting either to hold scaled back observances or not to hold ceremonies at all.
Among local ceremonies taking place is a hybrid outdoor/indoor gathering at John H. Fuller Elementary School in North Conway at 10:30 a.m. today and a ceremony in North Conway's Schouler Park on Wednesday at 11 a.m.
