Who was Emmett Kelly?

And there I was scrubbing a shadow on my kitchen countertop, never realizing my connection to this light sweeping icon.

My sister collects the figurines of Emmett Kelly. Clowns have a bad reputation now with all the evil in horror shows. Guess it’s easy to hide behind the makeup.

:(Nancy E):, I also collect Emmett Kelly clown figurines. I wish I could still find them.

Kelly was born in Kansas
