‘24 Hours on Folly Beach’
FOLLY BEACH — This island draws its name from its once-densely forested coastline, an area known in Old English as a "folly." Such foliage can still be found at the old Coast Guard station at the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve. The inlet has a boneyard beach similar to the much larger coast of Botany Bay, just south of Charleston.
Folly Beach had a significant role during the Civil War, occupied by Union troops as a base by which to establish control of Charleston Harbor and retake Fort Sumter.
After the war, the island was basically abandoned.
Fast forward to 1925, when the first pavilion popped up, expanding years later to include a pier, boardwalk and oceanfront hotel.
George Gershwin later spent a summer in a beachfront cabin near DuBose Heyward’s Folly Beach house that Heyward called Follywood while working on the musical "Porgy and Bess."
As the island's popularity continued to grow, a fire destroyed the pier, pavilion and hotel in 1957.
Not long after, Folly Beach was brought back to life with a new pier and 1,700-foot boardwalk, along with the addition of a Ferris wheel and other carnival-like offerings.
In 1973, Folly Beach became a city.
For the last 50 years, this beach town nicknamed the "Edge of America" has served as a popular destination for Charleston-area locals and tourists alike.
Folly Beach tourism season is from Memorial Day until Labor Day. Just before the end of that season in August, The Post and Courier photo staff spent 24 hours documenting life in this funky beach town.
Each encounter serves as a fun and educational moment for young viewers, highlighting important lessons on problem-solving, cooperation, and friendship. Ultimately, Big Bird and his friends succeed in finding their costumes and return to Sesame Street just in time for Halloween night. The special ends with a festive Halloween party where everyone celebrates together, showcasing the spirit of friendship and community that Sesame Street is known for. "Sesame Street Magical Halloween Adventure" is a delightful and educational program that combines fun Halloween themes with the timeless lessons that the Sesame Street franchise is known for. With its colorful characters, catchy songs, and engaging storytelling, this special has become a beloved Halloween tradition for many children and families..
