THE STORY OF THE CAROLINA CLOWNS -oOo-
CAROLINA CLOWNS INC. proudly celebrates 56 years of service to Charlotte and surrounding communities in 2013. We are proud to have been a part of the Festival in the Park every year since it's beginning in 1964.
In 1957, Earl Crawford Sr., Executive Secretary to the Carrousel Parade, approached Jack Pentes, a Charlotte artist and designer, looking for individuals who wanted to participate in the Carrousel Parade as clowns. Jack, who had been appearing as "Bobo" the clown on "Big Bill's Club House" on WBTV, and several others he recruited marched in that year's parade. From that group, CAROLINA CLOWNS was formed and Jack Pentes was elected the first president. Today 25 men and women continue that tradition, giving of their time and talent to bring joy and laughter to our churches, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and community functions. The membership ranges in age from the early twenties to the late eighties (you must be 18 to join) and come from diverse backgrounds including nurses, teachers, homemakers, and social workers. Each of our members share the mutual feeling of concern and desire to make others happy.
