Did you know that there is a festival and parade in his honor in Vincennes, IN - his hometown? This will be its 3rd year and is scheduled for June 14, 2008. Vincesses University has a newly constructed Performing Arts Center in his name. And VU makes free dormitory housing available to clowns who want to participate in the parade. I see that you are from Washington state so it won't be an event you'll probably choose to do... but I loved Red Skelton, too... so if you will allow me, I will do my best to "represent" for the both of us, Mr Marmalade, when I make my first appearance at the event!
Paint the town RED!
