The Plymouth Ice Festival gets under way just weeks from now, running from Jan. 18-20 in downtown Plymouth.

When throngs of visitors descent upon downtown Plymouth in January to view sculpted spectacles at the 2013 Plymouth Ice Festival, they'll also find an array of new activities at the yearly event. Festival promoter Sam Walton of Signature Professional Group said in addition to ice sculptures planned around Kellogg Park in Downtown Plymouth, the ice festival will bring a skating rink downtown.

The University of Michigan Ice Carving Team, one of several local and regional ice-carving squads at Kellogg Park in Plymouth this weekend, raced the clock Saturday in the Plymouth Ice Festival's three-hour carving event. Team member Zach Pomerantz said because U-M lacks a culinary school, his team carves for fun and has participates in the Plymouth festival each year. Pomerantz carved an eagle, complete with a massive wingspan, within the alotted three-hour time period. On Feb. 10, the team will participate in the annual Ice Carving Extravaganza in Ann Arbor, then the following weekend will hold its first on-campus carving competition. For more information, visit the team on the web.

Flurries, pedestrians populate annual winter festival.
The sound of chainsaws, the sudden presences of towering, icy creations and a healthy dose of flurries marked the start of the 2012 Plymouth Ice Festival on Friday in Plymouth's Kellogg Park. The event opened at 3 p.m. Friday and continues through 6 p.m. Sunday. A full schedule of events is available here on Patch. Rep.

Heise said he often draws the envy of his Lansing colleagues, who often speak highly of Plymouth's annual ice fest. Icy replicas of the …
