The W. T. Bland Public Library will be celebrating International Clown Week with Lake County clowns on Friday, July 31, 2015 at 2:00pm in the Community Room. Join us for a show with Fun World Clown Alley, Central Florida’s oldest and largest clown troupe. In their over-sized shoes, painted faces, and cherry red noses, the clowns will goof in celebration of National Clown Week.

Everyone recognizes the importance of laughter and happiness, particularly in the crazy world in which we live today. The importance of laughter and joy and the role that clowns play in bringing us happiness has been recognized by parents, physicians and politicians. President Nixon felt the role of clowns so important that in 1971, that he signed a proclamation naming the first week in August as Clown Week.

The Here Comes the Clowns – A Celebration of International Clown Week will be held at the W. T. Bland Public Library located at 1995 N. Donnelly Street in Mount Dora. All Library programs are free and open to the public. For additional information, call 352-735-7180 option 5.
