Living it Up in Lake City

Currently I am working in Lake City, SC as a bartender at a local restaurant called the Railway. The Railway is located in Lake City's historic train station. The main dining room features a buffet Tuesday-Sunday and offers a Menu with a variety of Southern comfort food. The Pub Car is where the bar is located and is a great place to grab a cold beer and some delicious wings. This is one of Lake City's top restaurants and worth a trip to check it out.

Lake City is a small town located in Florence County which most people pass right by and don't even know it is there. This small town has a lot to offer however they have The Lake City Farmers Market which is every Thursday. The South Carolina Tobacco Festival is September 13-15, 2012 and it is held in Lake City, SC. This festival features a 5K Run, BBQ Cook-off, Battle of the Bands, and much more! I am looking forward to the BBQ Cook-off the most, I can't wait to try all the BBQ.

Also Lake City Farmer's Market will be hosting 2 cook-offs this September. If you or anyone you know is interested here is the information:
