All my Friends are Clowns

I am beginning some new friendships in the Northwoods.  Unfortunately, they are all clowns.  Well, not all of them.  Someone (and I would like to know who) held a Clown Camp in the area.  A number of my new friends went.  They are learning the moves, sewing a costume, buying props and practicing how to apply makeup.  The most important piece of it is choosing a name.  Now my friends are Muddy, Happy and Goofy. Since the summer round of festivals has not yet started, I haven't seen any of them in action yet.  It is all in good fun.  I'll let you know how this first season of circus comes out.
