The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. That’s when the Armistice was signed in 1918 ending World War I, and every year since, on Nov. 11, the nation has saluted its veterans with parades, wreath-laying ceremonies and other events. There are now nearly 25 million veterans in the United States. And Nov. 11 is their day. The following are Veterans Day observances planned in Mount Washington Valley communities over the next couple of days. The Josiah Bartlett Elementary School will be put on its annual Honor Our Veterans presentation at the school Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. Any veterans are invited to join the presentation and all residents are invited to the event. Students at John Fuller School in North Conway set a wreath in front of the school on Tuesday. The ceremony capped off a week in which students created and decorated hearts to signify loved ones who have served or are serving in our armed forces.
BARTLETT — The Mount Washington Valley Economic Council has plans to add a second building at the Technology Village, and the non-profit organization has received a $225,000 grant to extend its access road off Route 16 in Conway.

Executive director Jac Cuddy discussed the plans during the business portion of the annual joint dinner meeting of the Mount Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce and the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council Nov. 1 at the Grand Summit at Attitash Resort and Conference Center. “The grant is from the Northern Bor-
ders Regional Commission,” said Cuddy. “It will be for the continuation of our road through the subdivision. We have conditional approval [from the Conway Planning Board] for the subdivision, and this money will go toward constructing the road extension.” see TECH VILLAGE page 9
