International clown performing Saturday

Clowns Without Borders and international clown Kevin Brooking will appear 6 p.m. Sept. 20 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Emerald Coast in Valparaiso.

Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. The church is at 1295 Bayshore Drive in Valparaiso, at the corner of Bayshore Drive and John Sims Parkway. 

Clowns Without Borders, founded in Barcelona, Spain in 1993, offers laughter to relieve suffering. 

The idea began when a professional clown was invited to perform in a refugee camp in Croatia. This performance unexpectedly attracted audiences of more than 700 children, proving that there is a great need for clowns and entertainment in crisis situations everywhere, according to a news release.

Contact Jan Mullins, 974-1483, for more information.
