Hate to tell you but, there is NO tourism up here during June. As for places making a profit. Try and get a room north of Manchester, good luck. Car dealerships, try and get an appointment for service, good luck. Boat dealers and marinas, you're kidding right? They sell as much gas as the 4th of July and Labor Day not to mention repairs and rentals $$$$$$ Someone mentioned some places that close down. Water slides are closed???? They don't open till the end of June or 4th of July anyway. With or without bike week. Thurstons, yes boat sales are closed but, not service and gas besides, his parking area is rented out. To mention the financial impact to Fun Spot was absolutely ridiculous. With all the tents there, I don't think it's a financial hardship. The Mt. Washington, becomes a floating bar $$$$$ Talk to the large food store managers$$$$$$$ It's the greatest show on earth and it's still FREE.
