National Clown Week Aug. 1-7

It's time to celebrate! Here is a little background information about the biggest week of the year courtesy of NationalClownWeek.com.
Clown Week is always August 1-7th. It started out as "National Clown Week". When Clowns of America reorganized and became Clowns of America International in 1991, they decided to rename it "International Clown Week." While Clowns of America International is considered the sponsor of Clown Week, many clown groups from around the world celebrate Clown Week include those from World Clown Association (USA), CLownsCanada (Canada), the International Shrine Clown Association (USA) and Clowns International (UK).
