The week of August 1-7 is International Clown Week!
This fabulously-fun event is celebrated all over the world, in many ways, by clowns with special events, parades, parties and proclamations!
But first, a little history:
Under the 91st Congress, the House and Senate Public passed Law 91-443, JJR 26 on October 8, 1970.
The joint resolution was then sent on to President Richard Nixon, and signed into law officially on August 2, 1971, designating “National Clown Week by the President of the United States of America Proclamation.”
Following suit, throughout the United States, Governors and Mayors have their own Clown week proclamation for their respective state or city.
Since its inception, ‘National Clown Week’ has expansively grown to become “International Clown Week”!
In this video clip, Laffy Taffy shares her experiences and surprising discovery, in setting up FRMC Charlies’ Chaplains’ now-infamous Nose Transplant Clinic for the first time in 2005…
Laffy will be celebrating this special week with Frye Regional Medical Center’s Charlie’s Chaplains, as they perform FREE Nose Transplants and FaceLifts (Smiles!) in their now-infamous Clinic for the sixth consecutive year!
