Conway
is a small farming community located in northwestern Massachusetts. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,809. It's approximately 100 miles west of Boston. Conway is bordered on the north by the Deerfield River, and the South River flows through the town on its way to the Deerfield River. Lush forest and hills surround the town, and several state forests are located nearby, including Conway State Forest, South River State Forest and the Poland Brook State Wildlife Management Area. Recreation opportunities include hiking, fishing, biking, picnicking and camping. The town of Conway is known for its annual Festival of the Hills, which is held the first weekend in October. Activities at the festival begin with a pancake breakfast, bake sale and turkey dinner on Saturday. On Sunday, visitors enjoy art and crafts, live music, a parade, log-splitting, skillet-tossing and pumpkin-stacking contests. In addition, there are demonstrations for wool-spinning, bee keeping and more. It's great fun for the whole family. Conway is about 32 miles north-northwest of the town of Springfield.

Conway Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Central Massachusetts has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons. Winters are cold and snowy and summers are warm and humid. There is a large seasonal temperature variance in central Massachusetts, because places further inland do not have the moderating influence of the ocean. West-central Massachusetts has colder winters and cooler summers than areas along the coast. Summer thunderstorms are common, on average about 30 per year. Nor-easters (winter storms with winds coming from the Northeast) can drop a foot or more of snow. In summer, central Massachusetts is slightly more humid than the coast. In autumn, the air becomes crisp and sunny days bring bright and colorful foliage to the dense forests.
