CONWAY — From a 42-minute parade Saturday in Conway Village to spirited music and food that afternoon and evening in North Conway’s Schouler Park, capped by a 17-minute fireworks display, Conway celebrated the nation’s 250th with patriotic flair.
“We were really happy with how well everything went and I can’t thank my staff enough. Everyone seemed to be in a great mood of just wanting to have a good time, celebrating the country’s 250th,” said Mike Lane, Parks and Rec director.
