The Maine Region AACA and the New England Region of the Lincoln & Continental Owners Club (NER-LCOC) have jointly organized a weekend driving tour around the Lake Winnipesaukee area in New Hampshire on Friday, June 4 and Saturday, June 5, 2010. Our host hotel will be The Margate Resort, a lakefront resort on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee in Laconia, NH. It is located right in the heart of the scenic lakes region of central New Hampshire. While at The Margate, we will be staying as a group in the Inn Building. The room rate will be $109 per night, based on double occupancy, plus tax. The price includes a substantial continental breakfast which will be served in their "Blackstone’s Restaurant" each morning. Although the tour is set up to run for two days, a one-night option can arranged for anyone who can only make it one day.
