CONWAY — Happy Memorial Day, a time to reflect on our servicemembers, men and women, who paid the ultimate sacrifice in keeping America free.
The 34th annual Wildquack Duck Race in Jackson — a perennial Memorial Day weekend favorite — has been postponed to Sept. 5 this year due to the forecast of inclement weather, organizers announced on Friday. The forecast calls for temperatures in the 50s and heavy rain on Sunday.For more information, go to jacksonnh.com/events.
