CONWAY — Due to damage at the Conway Congregational Church (“the Brown Church”) in Conway caused by Monday’s rainstorm, the traditional American Legion Post 95 Christmas Day Dinner has been canceled, said Post 95 commander Jim LeFebvre on Tuesday.

“I just got off the phone with John Edgerton (a member of the church’s board of directors and Post 95), and he says they will not have the church ready in time for this year’s Christmas Day dinner on Dec. 25,” said LeFebvre. “
