CONWAY — On Saturday, in concert with other protests taking place statewide and nationwide against President Trump, a “No Kings” march and rally in Conway Village drew an estimated 1,000 people, which some said was the largest protest gathering here ever.
Waves of protesters — some carrying a giant “King Donald Trump” puppet and others a paper Chinese dragon — gathered at 10 a.m. at the information booth at 205 West Main St., where songs were sung and a bongo was played.

Democrats need to get a job
The marchers seemed to be very mindful of local businesses and respectful, in general.
