You can tell that summer is nearly here! The roads are busier, the grocery stores are busy with folks buying supplies, the gas stations have more cars and boats than usual, and the restaurants are full! Where did all these people come from?

We expect this holiday weekend at Lake Martin will be one of the busiest ever. The Marine Police will be out in full force helping to keep our waterway safe; the marinas are stocking up for the crowds; and the many visitors to our area are looking forward to a great weekend.

The weather should be great – a few afternoon showers – but otherwise, sunny skies. The lake is full and as clean and clear as we’ve ever seen it. So, ENJOY this beautiful weekend in this wonderful place. And, when you have the chance, stop to remember those that have given of themselves so that we could be here on Memorial Day. I’ll be thinking of my Mom & Dad who were both pilots in World War II.
