CONWAY — Although North Conway's American Legion Post 95 has long had a tradition of collecting old, wornout flags for proper disposal on Flag Day (June 14) each year, North Conway now has a year-round option for returning worn, ripped and tattered flags.

Post 95, located at 116 Kearsarge Road, just east of the railroad tracks, has a new red, white and blue box on the porch for people to deposit their old flags.
