CONWAY — Last Saturday’s rain didn’t stop six bands from competing in the second annual “Battle of the Bands,” held at North Conway's Hog Coliseum as a fundraiser for the Kevin Peare Memorial Skate Park effort.
“We raised $3,000 and sold almost 150 ($20) tickets out of our allotment of 200. It sprinkled and randomly poured buckets of rain, but we carried on,” said Caren Peare, sister of the late Kevin Peare and executive director of the non-profit group raising money for a skate park in his honor.
