National Clown Week

According to The American Heritage College Dictionary, clown is defined as:

1. A buffoon or jester who entertains by jokes, antics, and tricks, as in a circus or play.
2. One who jokes and plays tricks.

The first week in August is National Clown Week. This week was created to give recognition to those funny clowns that make us laugh and smile. Well, most do. One exception is the clown from Stephen King’s IT.

The International Clown Hall of Fame, touted as the funniest museum on earth, is located in Baraboo, Wisconsin. Would you like to visit?
