Thanks again for your warm welcome! To answer your questions: I've been clowning since fall of 2001. I started with Smiles Unlimited Clown Ministry in Indiana, but after a couple years of clowning we moved to rural Kentucky, where I was pretty much on my own. (It was lonely being the town's only clown, but I did get some valuable experience). Then we moved to Minnesota, where I found a great group of clowns, but we moved again after one year (thanks to husband's job) and am now in western Wisconsin, hopefully permanently. I've joined the 3M Clown Club in St. Paul, which has about 15 active clowns, and does a lot of nursing home shows, hospital clowning, benefits, company picnics, etc. I also do parties and volunteer stuff on my own.
I LOVE this forum, but why didn't I find it sooner? Sure wish I'd known about it when I was solo-clowning in Kentucky. Maybe I wouldn't have needed to have so many conversations with puppets and rubber chickens!
