City of the Week in Plymouth 2021

Penn Theatre is one of our favorite places in Plymouth. A nonprofit runs Penn out of love and commitment to Plymouth. We wish them well and hope they can open their doors soon.

Tony Bruscato made some calls and got us access to where more than half of the 80 ice sculptures are being created for Plymouth’s Ice Festival this weekend (February 12-14)!

The artist is Tajana Raukar and she is amazing. Tajana and her husband, Paul own Ice Dreams Sculptures in Plymouth.

Tajana shows Doni how it’s done! Tajana has been sculpting ice for 25 years. She has even competed in the cultural Winter Olympics and competitions around the world!

Tajana’s work environment is a balmy 14 degrees. She begins all her pieces with a chainsaw before moving on to more refined tools for detailing.

More of Tajana’s finished pieces. These have all been made in the last week!

Tajana’s finished pieces... the sculptures basically get washed after completion to give them a glass-like sheen.

Tajana and FEW of her medals! She has another 50-60 that are framed on the walls of their workshop.

Tajana also works with food! Sculpting cheese and butter for special occasions and displays.

Tajana’s works of art will be displayed throughout Plymouth in front of different businesses for this year’s Plymouth Ice Festival. Kellogg Park will NOT have displays to help maintain social distancing.

Bigalora and their manager Jon are all about safety and delicious food when it comes to being a customer at their restaurant.

They offer heated igloo dining right in the heart of downtown Plymouth.”

The Penn theatre in downtown Plymouth has been entertaining movie goers since 1941. That’s about as old as Dave Dahmer’s underpants.
