ANNUAL LACONIA BIKE WEEK IS A STATEWIDE HAPPENING


The 89th Annual La-


conia Motorcycle week is held from Saturday, June 9th through Sunday, June 17th. Originally just a week-

on Saturday, June 9th with the 6th Annual Peter Makris Memorial Run, a fundraiser which is held in honor of the late owner of the NASWA resort, who was a strong supporter of Bike Week. The event has raised over


$100,000 for the Laconia Fire Department’s Life- saving Fund and for Eas- ter Seals of NH Veteran’s Count Club Program. Registration starts at
