The circus also has used Venice as its winter home for annual monthlong rehearsals. In the meantime, the circus is looking for a new borne for its clown college and its winter rehearsals. Ireland said it may take as long as a year to find a permanent home in Florida or another warm East Coast state. Ireland presented the circus' "Silver Smile Award" to the city of Tampa for its work with the Boys and Girls Clubs and to the Florida State Fair Authority for making people smile each year. The state fair is letting the circus use the grounds for rehearsals.

Baraboo is the site of the Circus World Museum and the hometown of the five famous Ringling brothers. "It's a fitting place for the school especially in conjunction with our celebration of 200 years of the circus in America," said Rodney Huey, vice president of public relations for Ringling Bros. The circus's clown college is free, but not easy. Students attend classes six days a week for 12 hours a day to learn the art of clowning, including juggling, acrobatics, mime, costume construction, makeup, choreography and safely working with explosives. Nelson said.

The top graduates are awarded circus contracts and become a part of Clown Alley touring 95 cities and putting on 500 to 600 shows annually. Nelson said.

Genny Santiago, 9, from the Dover club couldn't get the bang of it, but she said she'll keep practicing. "Many of our children are from disadvantaged families who don't get the chance to go to a circus and see said Jeanette Green, social recreation director for the Dover club.

"They're excited. It's not an everyday thing." But juggling lessons weren't the only reason for circus personnel's brief visit to the fairgrounds. The 25-year-old clown college is taking its act on the road, stopping at 10 cities including Tampa while traveling from Venice to Baraboo, to hold the school's annual eight-week session, which starts Aug. 30.
