MCHENRY â Local and state officials have condemned a racial incident that a Middle Eastern family reportedly experienced during a visit to the Deep Creek Lake area this past weekend.
An email that began circulating on social media early Monday, sent to the Garrett County Chamber of Commerce, Offlake Rentals and others details a series of occurrences the family claims they experienced during their recent trip to the area. They stayed in a Limpopo Lane property managed by the rental company.
While theyâd originally planned to stay until Monday, the email said, the family members who remained there Sunday afternoon cut short their visit âdue to the lack of security they felt in the area. As a Middle Eastern family, they felt very unsafe.â
