From August 1 thru August 7, 2007, hundreds of clowns will be clowning around all of the USA, as part of National Clown Week - August 1 - 7, 2007.

Each clown will be donating an hour of their time for a good cause in their community. They will be twisting or face paint or just clowning around. Every thing is free of charge or exchanged for a donation to the charity. It's an event that allows people to both showcase a fun art as well as to give back to their communities.

In ____(fill in your community here)_____, ____(your name here)______ will be sharing their skills at the ____(location)____. (You may want to provide a short quote here.)

"A Smile is a terrible thing to waste!" said organizer Debbie aka DaMissus the Clown of Springfield, Virginia "It's a way of changing the world - a little bit of fun at a time."

Hundreds of clowns participated during 2006's NCW - in schools, libraries, and hospitals. They clowned around in malls, on the street, and even in grocery stores...all for fun, all for free.

Clowning around was observed in close to all of the 50 states. 

Again this year, the folks from Clown Resource Directory  have joined the fun officially by hosting the website!

For the uninitiated, Clown Resource Directory is where the Internet meets the Clowning
