Leave a reply

On Friday, November 29th, 2013, Sir Toony Van Dukes joined a few of his friends from Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia to participate in the Reston Holiday Parade at the Reston Town Center.

For the parade, Mike created a new prop, two giant Christmas cookies, one with a giant bite taken out of it. He went down the parade route telling everyone how much he likes to eat Christmas Cookies.

Leave a reply

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.

WJLA – ABC 7 in Washington invites local groups to send in their own “Good Morning Washington” video greeting. They select and air the greetings during Good Morning Washington on weekday mornings.

After the City of Fairfax Independence Day Parade, Sir Toony and his friends from Just Clowning Around of Northern Virginia filmed a brief video segment and sent it in.

Good Morning Washington notified Sir Toony that their video greeting will debut on Thursday, August 1, 2013 on Good Morning Washington between 6-7am. It will the rerun Friday between 5-6am. It will then go into random rotation.

The timing couldn’t be better as International Clown Week starts on Thursday. International Clown Week is the first week of August (August 1-7) of each year.
