Swift River Bridge Gets Festive Makeover from CED Conway
The town of Conway may have skipped an official tree lighting this year, but that doesn’t mean there’s any less Christmas spirit. If you happened to drive by the Swift River Bridge and enjoyed the Christmas lights that illuminate it, thank CED Conway. The business got permission from the town to decorate the bridge, which is located by Washington street. CED began putting lights on the bridge in early November. CED’s manager Nick Swan and volunteer Mike Lane were the two who did the work.

Mountain Meisters Information Night
It’s Mountain Meister Information Night at Cranmore. Kevin Hamlin says the night will highlight the details of the annual skiing series. “We’ll go over all the changes that we’re doing this year. More for the captains and then any newbies coming in. You know, learn about Mountain Meisters. And then we’re going to show a ski film, ‘the collective.’” Organizers say Zip’s pub will also be open during the presentation. The meeting is at 6:30 tonight.
Winter Enthusiasts Jealously Look South
Maine closed all State Offices today and Moultonborough says their Town Clerks office will be closed from noon until 2:30pm tomorrow. The announcements come as the southern parts of New England were being hammered by a winter storm that many found lacking by the time it reached the Mt. Washington Valley. The National Weather Service reported 1-to-3 inches of possible snow accumulation for N. Conway today, just enough to make the roads a little slick but far short of the onslaught many skiers and snowboarders were hoping for to aid the start of the season. More snow may be on the way this coming Thursday.

An Old Fashion Christmas No More
Conway’s Christmas tree will be unceremoniously lit for the first time tonight as this year’s tree lighting ceremony will not be taking place. The Conway Daily Sun reports the lack of an official tree lighting is largely due to changes being made to the Eastern Slope Inn Resort’s personnel as well as a lack of sponsorship and volunteers to coordinate the past annual event. While the annual, ‘Old Fashion Christmas’ event may not be happening tonight, the town will still be lighting the Christmas tree for the season starting tonight. Other Christmas activities will include the Festival of Trees at the Red Jacket Mountain View Resort throughout this weekend; a Grinchmas on Ice show at the Ham Arena on December 7th; seasonal music concerts at the Little White Church on December 6th, 7th, and 8th; and a Christmas at the Castle event at Castle in the Clouds this weekend.

American Music Awards 2019 – Recap
TAYLOR SWIFT BEATS KING OF POP’S RECORD AT THE ‘AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS’ – (11/25/2019)
The American Music Awards, the biggest fan-voted music celebration, aired live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles at 8 pm EST on ABC. This year, R&B star Ciara took on the hosting duties. (She previously co-hosted the 2016 Billboard Music Awards with Ludacris).
Selena Gomez kicked the party off with a smoking “Lose You to Love Me,” and yes, the crowd was there for it, singing, clapping and dancing along. Social media … less so, with many asking “who told Selena to sing live?”
Taylor Swift, with 23 AMAs under her belt before the show kicked off, surpassed Michael Jackson’s previous record of 24, winning 26 with this year’s Artist of the Decade, Favorite Pop/Rock Album and Artist of the Year. This was Swift’s fifth win for Artist of the Year. Billie Eilish also won big, snagging New Artist of the Year and Favorite Alternative Artist.
Going in, Post Malone led the charge with seven nominations, with Ariana Grande and first-time nominee Eilish following with six each. Swift was also up for Artist of the Year against Malone, Grande, Halsey and Drake.
HIGHLIGHTS
Billie Eilish got the party rolling and set off the bleep-o-meter while accepting the award for Best Alternative Artist.
Halsey gave an impassioned speech saluting the American Music Awards, the only “fan-voted” awards show. As she says, it’s the fans who keep the music industry humming … and their appreciation means everything.
That time Swift low-key slammed Scooter Braun by thanking Universal and Republic for giving her the freedom to flex her creative muscle. “This album really felt like a new beginning, and I also really love my record label, Universal and Republic. Monte Lipman, Lucian Grange, thank you for being so generous to me and allowing me to make whatever music I want to make,” she said onstage. “As a songwriter it’s so thrilling to me that I get to keep doing that. And I’m so excited I get to perform for you all later.”
Kesha gently poked fun at Kanye West by introducing her own “Sunday Service” with “Raising Hell.”
Following some serious drama between Scooter Braun, Scott Borchetta and her former record label Big Machine, Swift performed a medley of hits, including “Love Story,” “Blank Space” and “Shake It Off” … with a decidedly feminist girl-power bent, somehow making it both fierce and completely adorable. And yes, she came onstage wearing the names of the albums she wants back from Braun on her shirt. Halsey, Camila Cabello and Misty Copeland—yep, that Misty Copeland, the first African American woman to perform as principal dancer in the American Ballet Theatre’s 75-year history—joined her onstage to sing, celebrate and dance.
PERFORMANCES
Lizzo brought passion, style, heartbreak and red-hot glam with “Jerome.”
Thomas Rhett told us, “Look What God Gave Her.”
Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello mesmerized the crowd with a sensual and slow “Senorita.”
Kesha showed us how beautiful “Raising Hell” can be.
Toni Braxton reminded us why still love her with “Un-break My Heart.”
Billie Eilish set the stage on fire with “All the Good Girls Go To Hell.”
Halsey dug deep in “Graveyard.”
Green Day made it cool to be a “Basket Case” again in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Dookie.
Camila Cabelo had everyone singing “Hallelujah” with “Living Proof.”
The Jonas Brothers claimed they were “Only Human.” The shrieks of delight seemed to tell a different story.
Christina Aguilera and A Great Big World showed how to “Fall on Me.”
Post Malone, featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Travis Scott and Watt told us to “Take What You Want” as they set the stage on fire and threw guitars around.
“Don’t Start Now,” Dua Lipa told us.
Shania Twain returned to the AMAs for the first time in 16 years with a medley of her hits and others.
