Getting into the spirit of the Holiday's is just plain easy in Flagler County. Have you ever been ice skating outdoors in Florida? The City of Palm Coast made it possible by kicking off this year's festivities with grand opening of the ice skating rink in Town Center's Central Park. Don't worry if you don't own skates (how many of us Floridians do?) they offer skate rentals with admission for a minimal fee. There is plenty of time to come out and enjoy this little taste of the Holiday's as the ice rink is open from now until January 2, 2011.Nothing puts you in the season like watching Santa glide through the air after popping his chute open over the beach. Every year Santa kicks off the Holiday Beach parade by parachuting onto Flagler Beach and saying hello to all of the boys and girls waiting for him on the shore. The weather could not have been better and the crowd was ever so pleased at the spectacular entertainment that ensued from Santa's big entrance.
There are plenty of upcoming events happening to ring in the holidays including the Holiday Fantasy Fest & Starlight Parade in Palm Coast's Central Park at Town Center. There will be arts & crafts, tasty treats and of course Santa will be present for pictures. Make sure you make it there by 6:00 p.m. to catch the parade which promises to be as spectacular as ever. Bicycle enthusiast need to make sure they decorate their bikes and head out to Central Park to take part in the 1st Annual Holiday Joy Ride. While you're there, make sure you sign up to audition for the BMX Reality Television Series "8 in the Gate" starring Eric Estrada!
'Miracle at the Crossroads III' is sure to put you in the holiday spirit no matter how you choose to celebrate this season. Head out to the Flagler Playhouse for a show that guarantees great songs, bad jokes, and punch & cookies in the aisles.
