CONWAY — About 135 people turned out to pay their respects in honor of veterans in ceremonies held on Veterans Day in North Conway’s Schouler Park on Wednesday morning, following a parade from the former John Fuller Elementary School down Main Street to Schouler Park.
People lining Main Street near The Met Coffeehouse and the Norcross Circle intersection applauded the marching veterans as they turned into the park, with many of the citizens waving small American flags that had been handed out by Navy veteran Angelo Terreri of Turner, Maine, and fellow veterans.
