FARMERS MARKET from page one days of the year so far, and by 4 p.m. things had really begun to heat up. But, said vendor Michael E. Smith of Loon’s Point Honey Bees of Madison, ““I think it’s going to work. The hours (4 p.m.-7 p.m.) are good, and I give credit to the ladies (board president Rachel Freierman and Carrie Burkett, executive director of the community center) for their enthusiasm to get this off the ground.” He was one of 13 vendors on site for the fi rst week, with others ranging from produce growers to purvey- ors of homemade soap, bread, pizza and ice cream. “It’s hot but people seem to be enjoying it. I think this market shows a lot of promise,” said Joy Weaver of Joy’s Kitchen of Brownfi eld, Maine. Her products included jams and jellies, pickles and relish. The latest market initiative follows past attempts which were held Wednesdays and Sundays outside the old North Conway Community Center (now the New England Ski Museum) as well as on East Conway Road and in Conway Village. It joins other markets in the region such as the Bart- lett Athletic and Recreation Association’s held outside Living Shores Aquarium on Friday mornings in Glen and the Tamworth Farmers’ Market, and Bridgton (Maine) and Wolfeboro markets, all held Saturdays. “I think it’s a great start,” said Patty Alden, co-pro- prietor with her husband Wildcat Tavern executive chef Bryant Alden, of Tin Can Co., a food truck spe- cializing in crepes. Burkett said she expects the number of vendors to grow as word gets out. “I was ecstatic with the fi rst week,” said Burkett. “I was pleased to see families using it as a night out, with their kids playing at the splashground, getting ice cream at the Trails End Ice Cream booth or pizza at Flatbread and getting their fresh produce.” Following the closed-down pandemic year, “it was exciting to feel that sense of community,” said Burkett.

STR from page 5 short-term rentals, which has been a long-standing tradition amongst ski families in the idyllic town.” Head of the association, David Cavanaugh, said that 47 percent of homeowners don’t have their pri- mary residence in Conway and can’t vote in munic- ipal elections. “These part-time residents are ‘tired of being ignored’ and the association wants to fi nd ‘common ground’ with the town,” he said. In April, Conway voters turned down a change to the zoning ordinance, supported by all fi ve select- men, to allow STRs in residential zones provided they complied with an arduous permitting process. Selectmen followed up the vote with a letter to STR owners saying short-term renting was not allowed, but the letter provided no details about when they would begin enforcement or what would happen if the owners continued to rent out their properties. After the letter went out, many locals demanded they immediately shut down STRs. Others, pre- dominately STR owners or users, asked for a grace period from enforcement. While not stated publicly, the town’s decision to go to court and wait for a deci- sion amounts to just that. A decision from the court is not expected for months. [email protected]
