This was their first time climbing this season, and they shared their time with friends from their church, the Evangelical Free Church Of Columbia. The warm Memorial Day air was a boon to fans of outdoor activities, and people across Columbia spent their day exercising and playing.   ¦  Erik Haugsby

Families and friends gathered this Memorial Day weekend to hold barbecues and get-togethers in the warm weather. Capen Park was open for rock-climbing and the Salute to Veterans Memorial Air Show was held at Columbia Regional Airport.
