Our membership includes face painters, magicians, ventriloqusts, balloon twisters and other children and family entertainers in addition to clowns.  We meet monthly in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada.  We participate in 6 to 8 parades around the lower mainland each year as well.  Balloon Jams:  We also get together monthly to practise balloon sculpture and socialize in a little cafe in White Rock.  We give our creations to the children who are there.  Maybe we can teach you to make a flower or a cat? Our members are dedicated to networking and mentoring.  We help each other.  At our meetings we will share our knowledge of marketing and advertising, magic, face-painting, balloon sculpture, juggling and everything else.

We have no secrets; believing that if one entertainer looks better, we all look better.
