The facility includes a museum of clown memorabilia that will also help teach people all the things that clowns do to get that desired laughter.

Famous comedians of the past will be presented by video. Older adults like to re-live their lives with these entertainers. Remembering special, happy times from their childhood. 

Performances of clowns are held for the general public. Professional and amateur clowns will perform and help teach the art of clowning. Some of our instructors will be inductees who are in the Clown Hall of Fame. 

There are now one hundred and seventy charter members from twenty-three States, Canada and Europe. They all are clowns that believe that we should promote the Art of Clowning to all mankind. All of them wish to be known as "A Supporter of this Art". Only Clowns retired or active are invited to become members. Clowns who are its members will always control the corporation. We have own a very desirable location in Lake Placid, Fl. next to the towns library, across from the town’s park and two blocks of three schools (elementary, Middle and high school). The site includes a brick building, which we have remodeled. There are seven lots and we have leased additional land for parking. It is our intentions to build an addition to the present building. Plans include a clown museum, classrooms, auditorium, and gift shop and administration office. In the present building that we’ve remolded we have a small museum, library, gift shop, office and our Wall of Fame. We shall honor six various clown groups on the wall. They are COAI, WCA, Rodeo "Clowns, Circus Clowns, Safety Clowns, and Shriners. One Clown a year from each group is being honored and his/her picture and biography is displayed. We invite you to come and view the site and inspect the building. We can show all of this to you, come vist or just give us a call for an appointment. Phone 863-465-2920 or 863-465-2780 or 863-465-4438. The foundation is open Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This is a very ambitious undertaking of our Board of Directors, but we are all clowns and are dedicated to the task. Please meet our Board of Directors.
