In spite of a massive fish kill a week before, people enjoyed swimming and other activities over the Memorial Day weekend at various spots along the Ogeechee River. However, the crowds may not have been as large as in years past, even though Environmental Protection Division officials said the river was safe for swimming. Test results are still unreturned regarding possible contaminants.
