HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ELMO!


Clownalley.net will return soon but I had to come back from vacation to wish a very happy 60th birthday today to my good friend Dean "Elmo Gibb" Chambers. Today marks another milestone as he celebrates 35 years as a professional clown.

On a Shrine Date in New York State in 1981


The longtime Advance Clown for the Clyde Beatty-Cole Bros. Circus


On Hoxie's Great American Circus

Happy Birthday, Elmo!
