Red Skelton Clown School
A few years ago, the Red Skelton Clown School was started at Vincennes University in Indiana. The 5th Annual Red Skelton Clown School was planned for June 4-9, 2013 and would also mark Red’s 100 Birthday. Unfortunately, last week, they announced that the Red Skelton Clown School has been postponed until further notice. While I have had the opportunity to attend the school, it is a loss for both the Vincennes community and clowns looking for a quality educational experience.

Highlights from Circus Magic Convention
Last week, I attended Circus Magic Convention in Williamsburg, VA. I must admit, that I felt the energy level was lower than previous years. I have been going each year since attending my first time in 2009. I almost didn’t go, but when I saw that I had the opportunity to take a two day workshop with Jim Howle, I decided to go. This is one of the stops on Jim’s Farewell Tour and he isn’t planning to attend conventions after the tour ends.
