SAVE THE VENICE CIRCUS ARENA!!!


Tino Gaona has halted the wrecking ball and may really have the momentum going this time to actually restore and re-open the circus arena in Venice, FL. This is the arena where Ringling had its Winter Quarters from 1960-1992 and Clown College was held there annually from it's inception in 1968 until the arena was closed in 1992.

I, for one, would like to see the International Clown Hall of Fame run an 8 to 10 week training program there each summer ;0)

Ladies and gentlemen, below you will find, for the first time anywhere, the brand new logo of the International Clown Hall of Fame and Research Center in Baraboo, WI.



Thank you to Sandy Weber for his fantastic design work. For more of Sandy's work, please click here.

As the ICHOF's new Director Greg DeSanto puts it, "It's the first step of many in the next days and weeks as the ICHOF moves forward to its grand opening celebration."
