Epic Last-Second Kick; Thanksgiving Week

Here are the top stories we're following on Farmingdale Patch this week:

1. By now you've probably heard. The Dalers won the Nassau Championship on a last-second field goal. But you may not have seen the video: See it here.

2. It's the short Thanksgiving week: three days of school for Farmingdale students and a wild rush for many of us getting our holiday preparations ready. Patch will offer holiday tips all week.

3. Speaking of holidays, Hannukah starts at sundown on Wednesday. We'll keep you posted on community menorah lightings.

4. We'd like to know your thoughts about the major new initiatives going on downtown. Tell us in the comments.

5. The forecast for the week could impact all your travel plans: The NWS says that rain, perhaps heavy, will move into the area on Tuesday and Wednesday, making holiday travel difficult. Thanksgiving Day is expected to be clear and cold.
