Yes, it was pretty scary. There were clowns everywhere--big ones, little ones, fat ones, skinny ones--with big grins and colorful hair. The kids didn't seem to be frightened, though, at the Annual Clown Day at Rawhide. This popular Rawhide special event is always scheduled to coincide with National Clown Week, during the first week of August. There was quite a crowd on hand at Rawhide for the first Clown Day since they moved from Scottsdale to their new Chandler location. Here are the pictures from Clown Day.

If you missed Clown Day, I know a place where you can see clowns--rodeo clowns. Yes, it's time for the Payson Rodeo. More about that later this week....
