Riders roll into Weirs Beach during Laconia's 90th Bike Week on Friday.

Despite rain, riders turn out in strong numbers for Bike Week

Rain dampened much of Motorcycle Week 2013, though Lakes Region businesses said motorcyclists turned out in strong numbers despite the rain, especially over the weekend. Law enforcement authorities said at least two people were killed during the week.

Racing helps cap Bike Week '13

The motorcycle races - among the events that traditionally cap Motorcycle Week in Laconia - draw sparse crowds compared with the New Hampshire 300 Sprint Cup weekend, expected to pack the aluminum stands with some 100,000 racing enthusiasts on July 14.

The bathhouse project was over a year in the making and required the support of voters in Rye and Hampton, as well as the state Legislature, which committed $450,000 to the $600,000 project.

Bathhouse dedicated in North Hampton

NORTH HAMPTON — Friday was not the most ideal day to be at the beach, but local residents were still happy to celebrate the dedication of the new North Hampton State Beach bathhouse.
