Fantasy of Lights at Palm Coast’s Central Park: The Rotary Club of Flagler County hosts its 17th Annual Fantasy Lights Festival at Central Park in Town Center, through Dec. 30, 6:30-9 p.m. each night. Fantasy Lights is free self-guided walking tour around Central Park with over 50 large animated light displays, festive live and broadcast holiday music, holiday snacks and beverages.

Keep in Mind: FEMA has extended the deadline into January for Flagler County Hurricane Ian survivors to apply for federal disaster assistance: The Federal Emergency Management Agency has extended the deadline until January 12. The Disaster Recovery Center is in a large tent located near the arena in the center of the fairground’s property, 150 Sawgrass Road, Bunnell. Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Disaster Recovery Centers serve as FEMA’s local outreach offices to provide disaster survivors with information from it, as well as from Florida state agencies and the U.S. Small Business Administration. Survivors can get help applying for federal assistance and disaster loans, update applications and learn about other resources available. Survivors can apply for disaster assistance at disasterassistance.gov, by calling 800-621-3362 from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Eastern Time, or by using the FEMA mobile app. Those who use a relay service such as video relay service (VRS), captioned telephone service, or others, will need to provide FEMA the number for that service. Those who have insurance are encouraged to file a claim for damages to homes, personal property, and vehicles before applying for FEMA assistance. FEMA cannot duplicate other sources of assistance may have been received.




Notably: It is Shirley Jackson’s birthday (1916). Jackson is known almost too exclusively for “The Lottery,” her 1948 short story, published in The New Yorker, about a no-name community of 300 where every year a person is picked at random–notably, before lunch–and stoned to death. No one knows where the “tradition” originated or why. But is there anything more tyrannical than customs? The branding of prisoners? Droit du seigneur (the lord’s “right” to deflower the newlywed virgin)? “We too soon forget the despotism of traditional cultures, these prisons that were the tribe, the parish, the corporation, the family,” wrote Jean-Francois Revel in Neither Marx Nor Jesus (“Car on oublie un peu trop le despotisme des culture traditionelles, ces prisons qu’etaient le village, la tribu, la paroisse, la corporation, la famille.”)
