CONWAY — On Wednesday, most of the nation welcomed the start of the Joe Biden administration. In honor of that event, a group gathered in North Conway’s Schouler Park for a prayer vigil at 10 a.m. It was organized by the newly formed group Being Peace MWV (Mount Washington Valley).

Led by former Sun photographer Jamie Gemmiti of Intervale and longtime local teacher and coach John Skelton of Freedom, the gathering in the park mentioned nothing about politics but was held for participants to focus on their inner peace and about bringing peace to the nation and world.
