Every year, I attend several conventions, partly to have fun and partly to learn. In November 2013, I attended the Mid-Atlantic Clown Association Convention in Harrisburg, PA. At the convention, I attended several lectures, did some shopping at the vendors, entered competitions, and had fun at the theme parties. I came home with the 2nd place trophey in the single balloon competition; multiple balloons competition; and full face, face painting competition. I also wond a 3rd place trophey for a group skit with my friends Miguel and Asia.
