The Franklin Fine Arts Council will present the 24th annual Franklin On Ice event, featuring the DiMartino Ice Co., a team of professional ice sculptors, this weekend. Franklin is well-known for the yearly ice show that draws hundreds of spectators. Professionally crafted and intricately detailed, the sculptures that are created are very popular with the public.

Attendees are able to watch the ice artists work with their chisels and saws as they transform blocks of ice into works of art. Franklin On Ice has a venue that is well suited for the display in Fountain Park, located in the heart of Franklin’s Victorian downtown.

Franklin On Ice is designed to provide a break from the winter doldrums, and the entire downtown itself is the venue, with local shops hosting indoor sidewalk sales, popular restaurants open to serve the visi-tors and area artists providing additional entertainment suitable for the whole fam-ily. In the evening, adults can enjoy enter-tainment in the downtown pubs.

On Friday and Saturday, the Barrow-Civic Theatre and Off-Barrow Little Theatre will host a number of events. A Nature Art Show and Sale will be held in the lobby of the theatre on Friday night and Saturday. A concession stand will be open on Saturday.

The Celebration of Talent competi-tion, featuring 12 contestants, will be held at 7:30 p.m. The members of the audience will vote for their favorite per-formance.

On Saturday, the professional ice carvers of DiMartino Ice Co. will begin work at 10 a.m. They will work to enter-tain visitors with their skill until 2:30 p.m. Spectators may take cameras and photograph the work. A 30-minute timed ice-carving competition will be held at 3 p.m., at which spectators will be able to vote for their favorite carving.

Chili lovers will be able to vote for their favorite at the chili cook-off, which takes place at the Franklin Chamber of

Commerce, located at 1255 Liberty St., from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Area restau-rants, delis, caterers and cooks will vie for the 1st place ribbon.

There are events designed for chil-dren. The Franklin Fine Arts Council will sponsor free magic shows at DeBence Antique Music World at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. (DeBence will offer special $5 tours of the museum for the public.) The Franklin Public Library will host a Lovin’ The Library event, with many fun activi-ties for children. Olde Liberty will have a kids scavenger hunt and crafts. Boutique Malo will have a make-and-take winter crafts event for children.

Cranberry High School will present “The Pirate Queen” as its annual musical today, Saturday and Sunday.

The play, directed by Preston Yoder, the school’s choir director, is about love, honor and bravery.

It tells the story of Grace O’Malley, a young lady who wants more out of life than the customs of her time allow.

She sets out on an unconven-tional life of adventure, disguising herself as a boy and joining the crew of a pirate ship known as “The Pirate Queen.”

The plot has a historical setting, for Grace becomes involved in a struggle to save Rennaissance Ireland from the wrath of Queen Elizabeth I.

Jenna Seigworth, a senior at Cranberry, plays the leading role as Grace O’Malley.

The play will be performed today at 7 p.m. There will be two

performances on Saturday, at 2 and 7 p.m., and one performance on Sunday at 2 p.m.

In each case, the doors will open 30 minutes before the show begins.

The cost of tickets is $8 for adults and $4 for children under age 12.

Tickets will be available for purchase at the school store today, during school lunch, and also at the door each night of the play.

Cranberry High School is locat-ed at 1 Education Drive, Seneca.

Editor’s note: the play has involved not only the drama club at the school, but the journalism class, members of which took the photographs shown here.

Kristen Hogue wrote an article about the play for The Cranberry Chronicles, which appeared in Good Times last week and may be found online at https://www.cran-berrysd.org/chs/chs-journalism/.
