Taste of Lake Murray

Brings in monies to support the July 4th fireworks

 

The third annual Taste of Lake Murray fundraising event, held March 22, 2007, was a huge success, raising $80,600 for the July 4th celebration on Lake Murray.  The July 4th Celebration will take place, Saturday, June 30, 2007, from three lake locations: Dreher Island, Spence Island and the Lake Murray Dam.

 

“This year’s fundraising goal was $100,000 and because of the remarkable support at the Taste of Lake Murray, we are not far from our goal,” says, Miriam Atria, President/CEO, Capital City/Lake Murray Country Regional Tourism.

 

Donations are encouraged and are still needed to make this year’s fireworks show possible. Donations can be mailed to: CCLMC, P.O. Box 1783, Irmo, SC, 29063.  For more information, call (803) 781-5940.
