Labor Day is the last of the annual holidays which traditionally fills Lovewell Lake camping areas and brings an abundance of water loving young families to the lake to swim and enjoy the water sports. This year, locals report the attendance was good, especially considering the conditions. A blue-green algae alert was posted declaring humans should have no contact with the water. Temperatures soared around the 100 degree mark Saturday, Sunday and Monday and only the low water boat ramp was operational. However, the large expanses of grass is green indicating the area has been blessed with more rain than some of the nearby fields and the fireworks displays were deployed as scheduled Sunday evening. Pictured is the swimming beach Sunday afternoon.
