I will never forget their "Banana routine", where I think he ate like 6 or seven of them maybe more. What made that evening much more special was that I was watching the show with Jim Howle and he said to me, "Watch and learn."<br />Congratulations on this great achievement!<br /><br />With love;<br />Miguel Angel Juan<br />Minsk, BelarusAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-70708536767122261442010-01-19T09:43:06.694-05:002010-01-19T09:43:06.694-05:00Thank you all for your kind words and offers of su...Thank you all for your kind words and offers of support. As we progress we will do everything to keep you the clowns, as well as the general public in the loop as far as information goes. We have some very exciting things to announce in the next few days, weeks and months, and look forward to sharing and preserving this one of a kind collection with everyone.<br /><br />Also, to clarify, the ICHOF is a private not for profit and is being physically housed seperate from the holdings and collections of Circus World Museum. We are located on the downtown Baraboo square, three doors down from the historic Al Ringling Theater. We look forward to working together with the theater as well as CWM in the future to continue to make Baraboo, WI the place to go for clown and circus research and entertainment.<br /><br />Greg DeSantoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879641.post-39359334657135248132010-01-18T18:51:42.278-05:002010-01-18T18:51:42.278-05:00The Big D himself!!!

We were also blessed with several very generous donations and offers of time and resources to help make this project a self-sustaining reality.<br /><br />So, welcome everyone.
