CONWAY — High gas prices and inflation notwithstanding, tourism is off to a rousing start, and the Mount Washington Valley is ready to make sure visitors have the time of their lives, exploring our many attractions.
Add to that events like the 22nd annual Seek the Peek fundraiser for the Mount Washington Observatory on July 16; the return of Arts Jubilee — concerts on five successive Thursdays at the base of Cranmore Mountain Resort, starting July 14 with Roomful of Blues; and the MWV Arts Association’s Art in the Park Aug. 6-7.
