An Oyster Roast will be held Sunday January 8, 2012 from 2-6 P.M. at Bowens Island at Folly Beach to benefit Save the Light, an organization committed to preserving the Morris Island lighthouse.
Tickets are $25 per person, and include all the local oysters you can eat plus beer and sodas. Chili and hotdogs will also be available. The Shakin’ Martinis will be playing.
Save the Light is a grass roots, non-profit organization that was formed to save the Morris Island Lighthouse from being lost to the sea. We bought the lighthouse from the previous owner in 1999, turned around and gave it to the State of South Carolina at the end of 2000 after working out a lease agreement by which Save the Light would transfer ownership to the State of South Carolina at no cost. Now all the citizens of the State own it. Save the Light retains all responsibility for planning, engineering, fund raising and execution of all aspects of the preservation of the Morris Island Lighthouse.
