Dear Folly Current: First off let me say I enjoy reading your paper. But I read the article on festivals in your latest issue. It mentions a “digital survey” was done showing 72.1 percent of the residents said we have “just enough” festivals and 11.2 percent wants more. I find that hard to believe. Was this a scientific poll of just some Facebook or internet questionaire? I ask because I’ve lived out here a little more than 35 years and I rarely talk to anyone who is happy with the number of festivals we have and certainly no one who thinks we need more. I’m not against having a “festival” for the community and folks in the surround area to enjoy. It’s great to show off our beautiful Island. So I’m wondering if you have particulars on the survey taken, how the respondents were selected, what the sample was, the exact wording of the questions and what the complete results were? Has anyone ever done an actual scientific poll of the folks who live here? A poll of a scientific sampling of year round island residents. If this is really what the majority of the people who live here want that’s fine. The question is settled and we go on. I’m told the festivals are to supplement the income of businesses on Center Street but there are other beach communities whose businesses seem to survive just fine with out six or seven festivals a year. I’m just curious how many festivals are held on Edisto, The Isle of Palms, Sullivans Island, Tybee, etc.? Out here we don’t call them festivals any more, we call them Saturday!

Regards, Mike Ferguson, Folly Beach resident

EDITORS NOTE:

Mr. Ferguson, Firstr of all, thank-you for reading. And to answer your question about where the survey is from — I don’t know if I would go so far as to call the referenced survey “scientific,” but it was a “Folly Beach Public Opinion Survey Report” administered by the City of Folly Beach through the City’s website. You can see the survey results in their entirety at www.cityoffollybeach.com/wp-content/ uploads/2015/05/Folly-Report-Complete- Draft-31.pdf.
