PINKHAM NOTCH — A warmer than average winter plus new pandemic-related operations have made it a less than “epic” ski season for ski areas, including two local Vail Resorts Inc.
CONWAY — As it continues to give the COVID-19 vaccine to hospital staff, Memorial Hospital is working on plans for vaccinating others, but still up in the air are details
CONWAY â With the forecast calling for clear skies Thursday evening, the stage is set for saying goodbye (and good riddance!) to 2020 and hello to hopefully better times in 2021 as Community Celebrations presents its annual New Yearâs Eve fireworks in North Conwayâs Schouler Park at 9:30 p.m.
âI received lots of calls from people yesterday and theyâre all pretty excited about the fireworks,â said John Eastman, director of the town of Conwayâs Parks and Recreation Department, who annually oversees the fireworks display which is presented by Atlas Fireworks.
âWe expect the fireworks to last about 15 minutes. We ask people to wear masks and maintain safe social distancing,â said Eastman.
T he toast might be virtual, the hugs on hold, but the sentiment is universal: Letâs ring in the new year and drop kick 2020 into the rear view mirror.
Things definitely arenât typical this New Yearâs Eve. The First Night celebrations in the streets, the big dance parties, the packed concerts in music halls â most are paused as we head into 2021. And plans donât just change from day to day but hour to hour.
Still, there are bright spots â retooled shows, some splashes of color and online celebrations with fun, games and a sense of community.
