About Grand Gatherings

 

I began my business close to 20 years ago as TWINKLE the Clown.  I had children of my own, provided in house private day care for 7 years and taught nursery school for 5 years.  I adore working with children. With my family grown and soon off to college I went to work full-time in a corporate world.  I found I missed working with children and decided to try clowning around.  I joined Clown Alleys (clubs) to learn more about the art of clowning and Clown Conventions became a regular pastime.

 

I do 100’s of Birthday Parties each year and other events and totally love what I do! Cracker Jacks the Clown is my newest character a European style clown I developed at the Clown City convention in 2005. Both characters do the same fantastic show with slight variations. Send email to grandgatherings@yahoo.com to find out more about shows.

 

Besides Twinkle the Clown I do other characters, Maggie May a bag lady for older Birthday Parties or Roasts, The Butterfly Lady for little girl’s Birthday Parties, Esmeralda the Witch for Halloween, Do Fuss the Clown is a Magical Clown, Lots of Smiles the Clown runs games and other activities for Corporate Outings or larger parties, Twink the Elf for those holiday celebrations and Melanie the Elegant Clown for very special deliveries.

 

I have won numerous awards including placing in top 10 as Melanie my Elegant Clown in an International Convention, NY.  I won a Bronze metal for single skit competition as Maggie May at Clownfest, NJ. I was awarded 2nd place as Twinkle the Clown in a Northeast Convention, MA., and I  placed first in group skits as Do Fuss at Spring in the Clowns, MA.  I am current president of Granite State Clowns, Alley 190 in Nashua NH a group of local clowns that get together to share the art and love of clowning.

Birthday Parties are our specialty but we are also available for Grand Openings, Corporate Functions, Holiday Parties, or any Grand Gathering.  I can refer other clowns, pony rides, balloon sculptors, face painters, and many more unique party entertainers.  The only criteria that someone who is referred by Grand Gatherings is that they love what then do and do it from the Heart.

I hope you enjoy my photo album as much as I enjoyed being part of the fun!

Jest Regards
