Fire and Ice Festival in Somerset, PA

Somerset, PA hosts an annual winter festival that features ice sculptures, fire pits, food trucks, family entertainment, a craft fair, and scores of historic main street shops open for business.

This was my second year coming to entertain at the First Christian Church. This year I brought my family and we had a wonderful time. Kezzie got to meet Elsa and Anna from Frozen. But her favorite part was just climbing the small snow hills formed from the plowing of snow. I guess this little Virginia girl doesn’t see enough snow in her life!

I got a little press coverage too from The Daily American news outlet. Here’s the link to the photo slideshow they posted on their site: http://www.dailyamerican.com/entertainment/photos/juggler-jesse-joyner-at-fire-and-ice-festival/collection_4ee3b144-9eb7-11e4-87e5-8fde7f37f54c.html
