What’s a holiday show without a little snow?

The Fourth of July, most likely.

Friday’s rush hour snowfall did not deter the Folk Project from plowing ahead with its annual holiday show, a benefit for the Morristown Unitarian Fellowship, which hosts the weekly Minstrel concert series.

It was a warm, cozy affair, with lots of sparkling performances.

Emcee Bob McNally introduced a lineup that included singers Sharon Goldman, Gordon Thomas Ward and Carolyn Messina, and newcomers We Three Ukes. (Hmmm…they look kind of familiar.)

The evening also featured poetry recited by Liz Pagan, and a foot-stomping reunion of old-timey faves Frosty Morning, a.k.a. Jim West, Frank Sole and Eddie Roffman.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
