Favorite NH Activity
Favorite NH Activity: Every part of our great state is beautiful, but to be honest, I love nothing more than the deep forests of the rural parts of New Hampshire. As for my favorite NH activity, there is nothing like the Bank NH Pavilion in the summertime for amazing concerts!
State senators serve in their state's upper legislative chamber.
