ICHOF:More Grand Opening Photos

People have asked for more photos of the displays but I don't want to post photos of the displays.

We want you to go to the International Clown Hall of Fame and see the displays for
yourself and come back often to see how those displays have changed.



Karen DeSanto leading the Opening Day crowd in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Neal Skoy then sang "America the Beautiful" quickly followed by "Memories" by Andrew Lloyd Weber in a throaty, Eartha Kitt-like voice all the while strutting around and licking himself like a cat. Toto Johnson accompanied him on Hawaiian nose harp. By the time they were finished there wasn't a dry seat in the house.


Greg and Karen talking with the NBC affiliate in Madison, WI.


Karen spoke eloquently on the many similarities between the Brooklyn, NY and New Orleans, LA dialects but NBC chose only to air information that related to the Grand Opening. Stupid mainstream media!


Among those singled out for recognition, Mr. Sandy Weber. Sandy created the new ICHOF logo and website and did all the graphic work for the Hall's new displays. After being singled out he was recognized immediately when Jessi Hoffschildt called out, "Hey, that's Sandy Weber! He created the new ICHOF logo and website and did all the graphic work for the Hall's new displays!"


Sandy refused to sit back down until Greg threatened him with a very sharp pair of scissors.


A lot of clowns smile for a photo; few choose to channel Charles Nelson Reilly.

I shall take the road less traveled.


The clowns with ICHOF inductees Jimmy "Happy" Williams (30 years at the Circus World Museum) and Dr. Richard Snowberg, the founder of Clown Camp.


And the ceremony ended with Greg, is his best Jackie Gleason, telling Karen that she was
"The Greatest". Then the two of them made out in front of us for almost 20 minutes.

AWK-WARD!

The autograph seekers really started to get on my nerves!!

BTW, thank you for honoring my vow to never have an attractive picture of myself taken! It was close with one, but I had to break the guy's camera.

It was a marvelous day and EVERYBODY did a tremendous job!! It was so nice being with everyone and meeting such nice people (the list would be far too long to name).

Now the rest of you need to go visit and get in touch with your heritage!!!

Kudos to all!
Sandy

By the way, Jessi Wonderfool is TOTALLY farting on me in the top picture. After this I HAD to clean myself like a cat! -Don't Judge!
