National Clown Week

Letter to Pammy form a fan. Very cool!



Above is an article about Pammy performing in the circus in her stomping grounds of San Antonio. S.A. forever!

I forgot this was National Clown Week and should have posted something yesterday. It was, ironically, started by President Nixon with a proclamation issued on August 2nd 1971.

In honor of this important week I wanted to share this letter sent to Pammy while she was on her first tour with Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus in 1990. As clowns, we usually didn't receive any kind of correspondence from circus fans so it was always special when you did. In the middle of a three ring spectacle you often felt like you got lost in the color and lights.It made us remember that what we did mattered.

I also wanted to share an article about Pammy from the Express News when the circus played San Antonio the summer of 1990. I be posting more stuff as the week progresses. Now it's back to the drawing board. Oh, below is a link to the National Clown Week website. Enjoy.
