It’s Half Rubber Season
Bubbie Barnett returned to Folly with his young wife for a happy trip in 1953. He’s seen here playing ball in the yard. The game of half rubber developed around Charleston during the early 20th century, including on Folly Beach. Beachgoers still play the curious game, utilizing half of a rubber ball, on Folly each summer. (Courtesy of Maebelle Barnett Bazzel.)
