The docks at the NAZBar & Grill will be smoking with waterfront entertainment as the [NASWA Resort](http://www.naswa.com/), the Official Hotel of Laconia Motorcycle Week, hosts its fifth NAZ-Kini Contest, Thursday, June 18 at 3 PM. The NASWA has been well known for staging dockside bikini contests for over 20 years, and this carries on the tradition for motorcycle week.
 
The NAZBar & Grill is a lakefront “hot spot” for action-especially during motorcycle week when Laconia is teeming with bikers looking for entertainment. “This is the premier, must-see event in Laconia–using our beach, docks and Budweiser’s sponsorship mixes beer with bikinis, so it’s a win-win!” says Cynthia Makris, president of the NASWA Resort as well as current president of the Laconia Motorcycle Rally Association. “We host the Kick-off of Motorcycle Week with the [Peter Makris Memorial Run](http://www.naswa.com/peter_makris.htm), so we keep adding attractions to the calendar!”
