Clowning around
Thursday, March 17, 2011
My productivity went out the window when two clowns came into the office today.
A daily occurrance, no doubt. The difference this time? This was fun.
The two Ambassadors of Laughter from Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus came into the office for an interview with one of our Southeast Missourian Jr. reporters. The Junior is a monthly magazine we put out that's mostly written by kids and is completely for kids.
Dave and Cherie Gregg -- decked out in frilly skirts, red noses and floppy shoes -- stopped by in between visits to schools, hospitals and libraries. The duo travels about a month ahead of the circus, doing reading programs and teaching magic and building excitement. The Greatest Show on Earth officially arrives in Cape Girardeau April 22 and will stay though April 24.
Dave and Cherie are clown college sweethearts. They were in the circus for five years before they became the ambassadors. In addition to today's trips, They have Discovery Playhouse at 11:30 a.m., Cape Library at 1 p.m. and West Park Mall at 4 p.m.
They gave me a clown nose, practiced their juggling and told me just how they fit 13 clowns in a car: very carefully.
