video showing things that the children have done during the summer.  We are
in charge of teaching them some songs, dances and puppets.  We will be having the kids make their own puppets to use in one of our videos that we will be
doing later in the summer.  We have a couple of young ladies who will be making up dance routines to some of our original songs.  It should be a hoot!!!


Hooray!!!  It is finally here!  The official ribbon cutting of the Smiley Park Children's Garden.  You will be able to visit THE LAND OF PETALS AND FEATHERS
real garden.  This is the storybook garden where Merci and Grace begin their
journey.  There are rumors that many of their other clown friends might be joinging in this fun journey.  You know they do know lots of other clowns.
