there will be one ignited each evening.

And, of course, there will be more

“What better place to host a great
family event like the Plymouth Ice
Festival than the perfect family com-
munity,” Walton said. “Plymouth is a
friendly, clean and safe community
that offers great specialty shops and
restaurants for every style and taste -
many of which will run specials all
weekend long. So, while taking in the
fun and excitement of the festival,
come prepared to see, hear, smell and
taste what downtown Plymouth has to
offer. Youwon't be disappointed.”
Sculptures will be on display 24
hours a day for the duration of the
weekend and admission to the
Plymouth Ice Festival is free. For a
