What a beautiful start to the new year it was to view “Illumination” in downtown Canton on First Friday, January 1st, 2021! The weather was mild, which made it easy to walk around observing the beautiful ice carvings and light displays around downtown. BTW, the creative lighting will be on display on Fridays and Saturdays from 6-9 p.m. throughout January and February. (See the Arts in Stark website or Facebook page for details.) Unfortunately, the ice carvings have a shorter lifespan! But I captured pictures of some of them and will post them here. Kudos to the various ice carvers! Also, the “Hall of Fame City Ice Rink” on 2nd St. by the Courthouse is open for your enjoyment this winter! Do plan to come downtown to enjoy the local shops, restaurants, bars and breweries, light displays, ice skating, art galleries, art museum, First Ladies Museum, Palace Theater, etc. this winter, and don’t forget a mask (it doubles as a face-warmer on cold winter days). Thanks, Arts in Stark, for sponsoring “First Fridays” in Downtown Canton on the first Friday of each month!
