To help draw attention to the Massillon Museum’s Immel Circus, Dale Smith will speak at the Museum’s monthly Brown Bag Lunch on June 25 at 12:10 p.m. His program, “The Life of a Circus Clown,” will conclude about 12:50 p.m. to accommodate those who attend during the lunch hour. Admission is free and open to everyone. 
 HIGHLIGHTS
• Sometimes better known as “Herky,” Smith graduated from the Ringling Brothers Clown College. He has traveled throughout the United States and Canada with Ringling Brothers and other circus troupes, including the Kelly Miller Circus, which will come to Massillon on July 31. He performed on a Dick Van Dyke television special during the twentieth anniversary of the Clown College.
Smith will display wardrobe items and photographs from his clown career.  Guests who arrive early can try on some of his gear. During the program, he will tell about a typical day in the life of a circus clown while he costumes himself as though he’s getting ready for one of those days. He’ll stay after the program for photo opportunities.
