Morristown -
First Night Morris County 2001 was a big hit for those who braved the weather. Many volunteers worked hard to bring a spectacular event to its feet despite the crippling snow storm a day before.

Agostino & Company presents Heads & Tales with the remarkable artist/performer Christopher Agostino combines storytelling and some amazing face painting to explore the art of transformation. Audience volunteers are transformed by face painting into images from nature and imagination, inspired by mask and body art designs from around the world. Christopher Agostino paints the face of Laura Morehouse, of Parsippany. (middle left)
