CONWAY — The turnout for this year’s annual Back-to-School Giveaway was bigger than last year but smaller than previous years; however, it was deemed a success by organizers.

Held in the parking lot behind the First Church of Christ, Congregational of North Conway from 5-7 p.m. on Aug. 12, it was the ninth such annual event organized by North Country Cares Executive Director Emily Smith-Mossman and fellow board members and volunteers.
