I've often heard people say

 that clowns are scary,

but you know...

They make me smile.

Big Noses...Painted faces...Floppy shoes

How can you be afraid of someone

who's life's work is to 

bring a smile to your face?

What could be more fun than a clown?

LOTS OF CLOWNS!

...and elephants...and horses...and tigers

...Oh My!

 

All of them in one place...

...and at one time.

Roasted Peanuts...Popcorn...Cotton Candy

never tasted better than they do at the circus.

Sawdust floors...

 

Canvas tent billowing in the breeze....

 

Flying trapeze soaring overhead...

The unexpected...

The extreme...

 

The Unusual...

Bring in the clowns. 

Make us laugh...

...until we cry with joy.

Surprise us...

...WOW us

Help us forget the hard times when they come.

...and remember the fun you bring to town.
