June 2006: For our first time clowning in Columbus we went to Westminster Thurber Nursing Home. We met on a Saturday at one of the buildings at school to put on our clowning outfits and put on face paint. As we carpooled away from the school we were quite a sight to see. We were at the nursing home for approximately two hours and everyone had a good time. We split off into groups of two and three and interacted with the residents. We talked, joked, and even bounced around balloons with the residents. The activities director helped to lead us to different areas of the nursing home so we could talk to more residents.
