My car started have trouble and was going to need major repair work and as I do Home Heath which requires me to go 30 -100 miles a day I need reliable trans. So My Husband and I went to trade in the car and you know how that is in the states you're there for hours, we'll on our second day back to finialized the finnacial arrangement and get the car. Before I left I talk with the big boss about them needing a Clown to enterain as people have to be there so long. He agreed and Has already called to set up dates. For me this big because I'm usully the birthday, festival , church clown; first timeI approach a company[ and is was spur of the moment] but hey It worked. :D :D :D

Years ago my dad gave me a valid tip and applied it to a girl I was afraid to ask out.--"If you don't make calls, you don't make sales." Same with clowning jobs, Don't be afrais to go asfter them. It never hurts to ask, and the worst they can do is say no.

OH Sapphire how great! I'm so happy for you! Bump a nose! I have a gig lined up too for March it will probably be my first gig! It's a children's birtday party! I'm so excited!! I know it's pretty far off but as I've said before, I'm learning and pulling Panetta together still!

Panetta

congrats saphiresue nothing like fate to help you out. good luck and hope eveything goes well

Well it's set for this Saturday. I'm planning on taking twisting balloons, do walk around type stuff and simple magic.. Any suggestion on gags for a car dealer ship?

Lemon jokes. But they might not be welcome.

find a steering wheel cover or seat cover and walk around saying your looking for a car to match it. or a car sterio and say your lookin for a new car that will make the sterio sound better cause it didnt work in your other car and you are sure it was the cars fault

Make sure when you look at the compacts that you comment about how many clowns you could fit in it.

o thats good scruffy. or look at big cars and say they are to big for your family of 20

You could always walk around with a steering wheel asking if you can test drive another!

ooh thanks,

I found a tire in the doggy section "We've got the coolest wheels" and "I tired". And I'm making a bottle of "Spring" water as the dealers have thirsty work" [it's a slinky glued into a bottle of spring water]
I just bought a steering wheel cover to protect my new car It's stiff enough I can use it as a steering wheel I think. Great Ideas.....keep em coming. Thanks.

i think walmart or some of the other stores sell steering wheel covers with cardboard in them that look like steering wheels or you could make your own to put the cover around

That's great Sue! I am so happy for you. You've got great ideas so I know you'll do well.

If I come up with any ideas I'll post 'em, but it looks like the gang has given you a great start!

Sue,
It sounds like we have some great ideas coming forward! I think I would stay away from the lemon jokes too. I mean, you are there to help them sell the cars! Grin.
You could also ask if they have a car with lots of FEET ROOM and hold up your clown shoes!
Then you could buy a bicycle horn and ask if they have a car that sounds like this.
Congrats on this new gig!

I've seen in some novelty stores and in a couple of these seasonal Halloween stores, a very large suction cup, wind-up key. Tell them that's the key to there new car!

Congragulations Sue! That's how I got my first gig-now I'm at a deli every week! I just went up to the owner, and he was intrested! Good luck, I am sure you will do fabulously!!!!

Thank you to every one, you've all be so supportive and helpful
[there's not a symbol for hugs in smiles faces but]
Hugs to every one.

Giggles, Does he pay you in brisket or potato Salad? :)

-Sorry, couldn't help myself on that one :D

My hubby's gotten into the spirit and came up with this one.

"I dreamed all night I was a muffler now I'm exhausted"

Well, here I sit after 12 hours in clown makeup. Just wanted to thank every one again, the steerring wheel when over real well. I think every thing was successful. I also had a western theme carnival this evening. I've twisted so many balloons my finger tips are sore close to two hundred, broke one pump, but thank goodness I packed a spare. Thanks again

GLad to hear things went well.

gongrats saphire sue glad to here everythinwnetr well

Well it's set for this Saturday. I'm planning on taking twisting balloons, do walk around type stuff and simple magic.. Any suggestion on gags for a car dealer ship?

Hey Sue! Did you dazzle the dealers and customers this weekend?

Forgot to read 2nd page on this one! :)

Well done Sue, So glad it went well.

Well thought I'd toot my own horn

Toot, Toot

Dealership has called and want to resched. and Chick-fil-A called today. Our local one {they may all do this] is very active in community activities with will be starting back with family night once a week inwhich they like to vary the entertainment. We just talked hope he calls back.

wow saphire sounds like your keepin buisy that it great. congrats

Congrats Sue!

Hope they give you the green one on this....

Light that is, not pickle.....they do serve pickles there, don't they?

Chick Fil A is a good one that I hadn't thought about. I went to one of regular "haunts" today and my daughter was interested in them making birthday cakes. I thought, " this would be so cool, make balloons right here, and as mom and dad who ordered the cake would stop by to pick it up, maybe they'd at least ask me how much for a clown?

Hmmm...don't know....how much for a clown? How much you got? :)

There is a bakery near my house that let me put up a poster and leave cards in return Ilet people know where to get cakes
This has worked out good for both of us
Maybe you can work something out It dont hurt to ask

Good idea Jamz
