Clowning around might come naturally to some, but to become a Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey clown you have to go to college.
And not just any college – the Ringling Bros. Clown College! There are only a few locations around the country, but this week they brought their class to the Times Union Center where fifteen kids from the Make a Wish Northeast New York Chapter learned how to get the audience laughing.
Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus clowns Joel Jeske and Mike Richter worked the crowd, singling out a couple of manly men who could take a little teasing before pairing off the children with local celebrities.
Our own Albany Mommy drew a shy young man, who at first hesitated to perform in front of a crowd, but that ended as soon as he found out that when he returns for graduation, he will get to throw a pie in her face.
Now that’s a shot that I would love to capture!
The circus will show May 5-8 at the Times Union Center in Albany, you can purchase tickets here.
For more photos from this awesome event, check out the Clown College Album.
Sunday March 20th from 12-2pm all Pottery Barn Kids will host a special story time with activities and a reading of the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
Perfect family event for a Sunday afternoon.
Canon, maker of the best cameras, has an awesome section of their website with HUNDREDS of free paper crafts for kids of all ages.
They range in complexity from easy to needing a graduate degree in engineering. Great for all age groups.
Just download the pattern and instructions and print on your home printer.
Have fun!
