LEXINGTON, S.C. — People across the Midlands enjoyed Labor Day and the last long weekend of the summer at Lake Murray on Monday.
Labor Day is usually known as the end of the summer season. People at the Lake Murray Dam tell News 19 they're closing out summer with family by the water.
"We just woke up this morning, and we wanted to get out of the house," said Irmo resident Wanda Singletary. "So, I said, 'let's go to Lake Murray Dam!'"
"Today is the last day of the park being opened," said Columbia resident Germar Hill. "My family loves the water. We're going to enjoy the day and eat some good food."
