CONWAY — For the third year in a row, North Conway Village will celebrate the spirit of "An Old Fashioned Christmas" on Saturday with carols, tree lightings, storytelling and even the arrival of the jolly old fellow himself, Santa Claus.
The events are sponsored by the Community Celebrations Committee of the Mount Washington Valley Preservation Association, North Conway Village Association, Eastern Slope Inn/Attitash Mountain Village and many other local businesses.
