CONWAY — Several events are planned locally and statewide to join the nation’s 25th anniversary remembrance of the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
In the "Honor Summit" event, two beams of light shine from the summit of 6,288-foot Mount Washington, symbolizing the attacks on the twin towers of the World Trade Center when two hijacked airliners struck the morning of Sept. 11, 2001.
