It's fun to be a clown, as the happy faces above attest. Pictured are (seated l-r) Topsy (Connie Yarbrough), Yo-Yo (Jerry Yarbrough), (standing l-r) Mit-z (Gerry Wise), Darlin' (Donna Owen), Happy (Carol Schofield) and Boopie (Beverly Hubric). All are members of the Uptown Clowns of Largo Alley 301, which meets monthly at the Largo Community Center, 65 Fourth St. NW. The zany performers were caught on camera at a recent clown convention hosted by Alley 301. If you've always wanted to be a comic performer, now's your chance. Topsy and Yo-Yo will be conducting classes for aspiring clowns at the center beginning February 10. The basics of clowning, including face painting, costuming and balloon sculpting, will be taught. Those interested should call 517-4244 for more information.
