ANNUAL TOUR de PALM COAST

On Saturday July 21st, as a part of the

celebration of Parks and Recreation

month, the City led the annual Tour de

Palm Coast! With 46 riders, this was the

Tour’s largest turnout in event history!

The guided scenic bike cruise began at the

new Community Center, then found the

outdoor classroom along Magnolia Trail,

and navigated over to the main park

entrance, playground and trailhead map at

Colbert Lane. From there, the “Tour”

cycled up to the northernmost point of the

Linear Park Trail at Palm Harbor Drive

where they could learn about the Panther

Sculpture donated as part of the City’s Art

in Public Places program. The crew cycled

along the western side of European Village,

funneled under Hammock Dunes Bridge,

and saw many amazing sights along the

Intracoastal Waterway. Once the Tour

made it down to the beautiful Waterfront

Park, the cyclists doubled-back to the

Community Center along the St. Joe

Walkway. Riders concluded their 6.3 mile

out-and-back route at the Community

Center with refreshments and an open

house of our newly renovated Community

Center.

“Linear Park has so much to offer, and

when we can showcase it through Tour de

Palm Coast, the elements of the park that

the community might not frequent or even

know about, have a chance to stand out. My

favorite parts of the tour were tied between

taking in the quiet moments under live oak

canopy, and seeing the dolphins fishing for

their morning breakfast in the Intracoastal!

I recommend that everyone try this event,

at least once.” –Angelica Cortes, Landscape

Architecture Intern.

Despite her fears, she befriends the castle’s enchanted staff and learns to look beyond the Beast’s hideous exterior and realize the kind heart and soul of the true Prince within.

We know what you’re thinking, how could a computer chip the size of a grain of rice make any difference in the well-being of your animal? In fact, implanting a microchip can provide the comfort of knowing your animal has a drastically higher chance of getting returned than an animal without a microchip. A microchip is essentially an implantable piece of identification, much like a dog tag or collar, however it’s much more permanent and reliable. Once an animal is found by the Flagler Humane Society (FHS) or is born under our care and old enough, veterinary technicians implant the microchip via needle, similar to the process of a vaccine. They never irritate the animal and once the process of the initial implantation is complete, they will never have to get another implanted. However, if any of your information has changed since the implantation of your pet’s microchip, you must contact your vet to update the contact information. For more information on microchipping your pet, contact FHS at 445-1814. Donation Opportunities: The Flagler Humane Society Thrift Store always accepts donations. They cannot take in any computers/printers or large appliances. Call 386-597-2839 and leave a message. Call for our new store location where we will soon be collecting donations. “General Donations” can be dropped off anytime at your convenience. FHS appreciates all donations, especially those from our Wish List (available at flaglerhumanesociety.org/wish-list). You can also purchase items via the Amazon.com link on the FHS website and ship them directly to the shelter. Outreach Adoption Events: Don’t forget that FHS have volunteers and adoptable pets at Petco, PetSmart, PetSupermarket and Tractor Supply in Palm Coast. Stop by and see our adoptable pets! Want to be a volunteer? Attend an orientation! Orientations are held at noon in the Humane Society education room every second Saturday of the month. Applications can be found on the FHS website. Interested in fostering? Contact our adoption specialist at adopt@flaglerhumanesociety.org. Adoption Specials: Check the FHS Facebook for our adoption specials. Upcoming Fundraisers/Events: See the FHS Website for information on our upcoming events – Bow Wow Bingo and Paint your Pet! Offered Services: The Flagler Humane Society has a variety of Subsidized Spay & Neuter Programs for members of the community that need to have their pets or community pets sterilized. Please call FHS at 386-445-1814, email info@flaglerhumanesociety.org for questions. FHS has a Wellness Clinic for minor veterinary issues. Call 386-445-1814 for Appointments. Low Cost Vaccination Clinics are held on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of every month from 1pm-3pm. FHS also offers a “Pet Food Pantry” for those that are in need of assistance.
