St. Augustine’s Summer Concert Series, in the Plaza de la Constitución, 7 p.m., Park downtown, and come on down rain or shine – the only way you know if it’s cancelled, is to be at the Plaza (or wait for the post on social media). This evening’s concert: Big Pineapple plays the sweet sounds of the Hawaiian Islands. Featuring the instrumental wizardry of Rocky Blaze on Ukulele, Gary Goldsmith on Hawaiian Steel Guitar and Randy Day on Bass, BIG Pineapple’s smooth renditions of contemporary and traditional island favorites evoke the romantic moods and exotic settings of old Hawaii. Expertly blending 1930’s and 40’s Jazz, Bossa Nova, Country and Swing music, BIG Pineapple has developed a unique, fresh sound firmly rooted in classic Hawaiian music.

New Voting Precincts and Precinct Boundaries in Flagler-Palm Coast
From Elections Supervisor Kaiti Lenhart: In preparation for upcoming election cycles, new precinct boundaries have been approved to accommodate areas of growth in the county. Several voting locations have been impacted. Proposed changes to Flagler County precinct boundaries were presented to the Board of County Commissioners during their public workshop held on May 15, 2017. Two additional precincts were created and the boundaries of several other precincts were adjusted to shift voters from very heavily populated areas. The proposed changes were adopted during the regular meeting of the Board of County Commissioners on June 19, 2017. Affected voters can expect to receive a new Voter Information Card by the end of July 2017. For more information, please call (386) 313-4170. View the new precinct map and related information.
