In what authorities now believe to be a prank, Kennett High School took precautionary measures yesterday to handle an alleged bomb threat on the school. The Conway Daily Sun reports the threat was found on an unassigned computer and stated a plan to attack the school this Friday afternoon. Kennett High School officials told the Daily Sun that the High School was cleared after school, and bomb-sniffing dogs were brought into the High School. They say a heightened police presence will remain for a short time. Officials say the student responsible for the message has been identified and they believe the alleged threat was actually a prank. Anyone with pertinent information is still asked to contact the Conway Police Department.

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.
