Ruby the Clown

 


It was eagle-eyed Beatrice that noticed the nametag of Ruby the Clown in a "My Street Photography" post. She said, "I have to admit that his name tag of “Ruby the Cow” was confusing and amusing." 


Ruby the Clown has brought smiles to the Peachtree Corners Festival for many years, and I photographed him on numerous occasions. It never occurred to me to inspect his nametag. So I asked him about it and he kindle informed me, "It is simply silly."


Well, silliness is part of being a clown. And that is quite apparent if you follow him around a bit.


It can be quite warm out on the street and a cooling station can be just what it takes to make a clown smile.


Besides being silly, Ruby the Clown also instructs. Here on how to make balloon objects.


A balloon sword sure can be fun.



Ruby has all kinds of pets too.


And what does he do with his pet shark? He takes him to swimming lessons, of course.


You never know what he does next! Be sure to look for him at an event near you.

So long!


And a big tip o' the hat to Beatrice for getting this story under way, and to Ruby the Clown for promptly and kindly helping out with the explanation.
