History of the Irmo Okra Strut:

Since forming in 1961, the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman's Club has been dedicated to improving the local community. Their outreach became the foundation of the annual Okra Strut. In the early 1970’s, the Woman’s Club set out to raise funds for building a library in Irmo. The large amount of funds required for a new library made it a daunting task for the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman's Club. To this day, the Lake Murray-Irmo Woman's Club is our preferred Okra Vendor! We appreciate you supporting their fundraising efforts and trying their amazing okra!
