COOS COUNTY — Heavy ATV traffic kept N.H. Fish and Game officers busy over the weekend as they responded to four serious all-terrain vehicle accidents Saturday.
Normally the last weekend in July draws thousands to the region for the popular Jericho ATV Festival. While the festival was canceled this summer as were plans for an ATV Invasion Festival, some enthusiasts had already made reservations and plans and came here to ride anyway.
