The following email came from Angela Gonzalez about the Midwest Clown Association Roundup…
Psst – want a little preview of the fun??…….
The Midwest Clown Association Roundup is coming soon! Be there October 1-5 in Davenport, Iowa, as we celebrate going “Back to School.”
There will be a coloring contest and everyone is invited to color. You will have crayons in your goody bag and you can color your own clown coloring sheet or pick anyone else in the coloring book you will receive. The colored pictures will be signed in and given a number, then posted around the hotel where the hotel employees will be invited to pick their favorite picture. There are prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd and you will be famous!
Also to go along with the “Back to School” theme will be a great theme party. We will have a DJ for a sock hop but also serve a “standard” school lunch ( not PB and J), have a recess time of games with your favorite Phys. Ed. Teacher, and some exercises in reading, ‘ritin’, and ‘rithmetic. Put on your thinking caps to play “Are you Smarter than a Jr. Joey?”
The above is just a little taste of the fun being planned for the Roundup. Remember that we have two featured lecturers and performers, Julie Varholdt and Norm Barnhart (see attached flyer). There will be lots of classes in every clown skill and area that you want to learn more about. We are inducting a new member into the Midwest Hall of Fame – Lynette “Nettie Belle” McDonald, and we will be celebrating two members with a Lifetime Achievement Award – Nancy “Bubbles” Opatich and Bill “Bibo” Young.
Register today!!! You don’t want to miss out on all the fun!
P.S. If you have things to include in the goodie bag, please contact Lucy Mahoney ASAP at 708-361-8216.
