Sun Fun Festival Update

Sun Fun events have changed through the years, yet the spirit of the festival remains the same. Some of the early events included human checker board games and a law requiring everyone to wear shorts or a swimsuit or be fined. Proceeds went to build Myrtle Beach's first hospital.
