Guest Speaker:
Steve Loughlin introduced our guest speaker Charlie St. Clair, Executive Director of Motorcycle Week. Charlie has been associated with the annual event since 1991.

In addition to Motorcycle Week celebrating its 91st year, Charlie reported plans are already underway for the grand celebration of the 100th Motorcycle Week in 2023. Shirts are presently being sold with a specific logo on them announcing that event. Charlie noted just how competitive it is to get attendees to Bike Week citing the fact there are over 600 motorcycle events throughout the country competing for the same riders. Charlie also noted that any event held during Motorcycle Week is a moneymaker. However, for the 3rd consecutive year, there will be no hill-climb competition at Gunstock. In 2004 there were 10,000 paying spectators for that event. This year, there will be a burn-out event at the Loudon race track.

Charlie concluded his presentation by saying the Laconia police department has been terrific in all the years he has been involved.
