Timmers Wins Award, Tuitt Tries Out a New Look!
By Wayne “Wayno” Shriver
At our last meeting Tim “Timmers” Jones was awarded the much sought after Bill Ralph Award.
The Bill Ralph Award for those who don’t know it, is awarded to the ring clown, who let’s face it, screwed up the most during the circus. Timmers won this year for creating a new type of classification of clown, the Light White Face. On several occasions Timmers was so excited about the skits being performed that he left for the stage early. In his haste he also forgot to put his nose on!
Bobby “TUITT” Barton, who has been a clown since I have been in diapers, if not longer, decided the ULTRA LITE AUGUSTE look was the way to go for the Utica parade this year. What is the “ultra lite auguste” look you say? Well let’s just say Bobby forgot all of his make-up. I heard that before the Memorial Day Worthington Parade started he was out in the crowd asking to borrow lipstick, eyeliner and rouge. Say it aint so!
