Our unit is dedicated to bring the Nobles of the Shrine greater appreciation of happiness in life by means of capacious Clowning.
And bring a smile to the face of a young child, the elderly, or anyone else who is in need of a good Cheering up.

Ladies are always invited as without them, and all Family Members, we as A Clown Group Could not be the Best unit Around.
Clown Facts:
It takes approximately one-twos hour for a clown to put on his makeup, and another hour to take it off.
This can turn a two-hour gig into five hours! – And you thought your lady had a lot of make-up!
Clowns are busy all year, especially during the Shrine Circus, Christmas holidays, and most all summer.
The Clowns are in all the Parades, Shrine functions, The National Western Stock Show, and other requested appearances.
All clowns have unique faces, names, and costumes.
Each must own his own Costume.
Each clown has to develop his own “personality.”
We will teach you ALL you need to know to be a Clown, including Make-up, Costuming, and how to act around Children, the Elderly and the Public.
Each clown commits to at least twelve appearances each year in costume. He must also commit to six visits to Denver’s Children’s Hospital.
At least two Clowns will visit Children’s Hospital every Sunday morning, 52 weeks a year. These groups attempt to visit every child in the hospital, for one goal, to bring a smile to a sick child’s face.
Our Clowns are made part of the Circus Troupe each year.
During the circus, most clowns stay in their makeup all day.
That means many have their makeup on over 14 hours!
