One of our 95 year old participants has always wanted to go to "Clown School" and was never allowed too. So, at 95 she took to private lessons on clowning from one of the entertainers who isn't normally a clown at work and had a "graduation ceremony" where she had to complete a few tasks before officially being deemed a clown. We went all out at work and decorated the day center to put us all in the mood.
I had seen the following idea on Pinterest and adored it. Such a great idea. It is just plastic tableclothes that have been bunched, and swagged out for a sort of streamer decoration, but even better. It gave the room a very "big top" tent feeling.
Kelli tackled the staging area with these 50, yes 50 balloons.
Another big top shot.
We had a preschool group that came to be part of the audience and they had a fan club seating section! They were adorable!
I even got decked out as a clown, as did many of our staff, in support of the participant.
On my way home from the work day, I stopped to see my buddy Myles in my clown get-up and even came with a balloon. Trust me...it took that balloon to get him to come to me since looked a wee bit different and he wasn't so sure he wanted to have anything to do with me. Eventually we got close enough for this cute picture!
Everyone should do a bit of clowning around every now and then!
