    My mother in law ordered tickets for Bozo's Circus as soon as she learned I was pregnant. We got the tickets and went when my son was 4.
    The studio was tiny and the music was loud! The Circus act that day was a man with preforming poodles.
    I think I enjoyed it more than my son did!

    I remember Bozo from my childhood and was a part of our cable (in downstate Illinois) since I was a small kid. I loved watching Ray Rayner in the mornings and watched Bozo at noon - when I was at home. I miss Ray. He did a wonderful job.

    I was chosen to play a game where I had a partner and had to wrap him in toilet paper like a mummy. We won a box of Suzie Q's and a tootsie roll bank full of candy. I still have my Bozo and Cookie buttons!

    I was in the Bozo audience in 1976 with my mother. I wanted to play the Grand Prize Game so badly but the Magic Arrows didn't fall my way. I recall that when Mr. Ned says "Who's your favorite clown," there is often some kid in the background yelling "Cookie" just to be different.

    While I never went to see a taping of Bozo I did eventually get the chance to meet Joey D'Auria who was the Second person to do Bozo and the one that i grew up watching. I'm subscribed to Abdullahsmash026 on UA-cam and I learned that not only would Abdullahsmash026 be at The AMC Randherst Theater for a showing of Yokai Watch The Movie but Joey D'Auria one of the main voice actors in the anime was going to be appearing and signing autographs with Abdullahsmash026 and it was sanctioned by the creators of the franchise Level 5. I literally found it out the night before it so I was originally intending to go to see the movie at Century Theater in Downtown Evanston but I had to change my plans and chose AMC Randherst to see it which I had to take Lyft there which was worth it. I did meet Joey D'Auria which was technically my first time meeting a voice actor but I got a childhood dream come true meeting Bozo The Clown in person the clown who was my childhood idol and I finally got to meet him 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆. It still feels like a dream that never happened but it did happen and I have proof.

Family Classic was a time on Sunday afternoons the whole family would watch T.v together. nowadays families are in different rooms of the same house, doing different things. one watching T.v,. another on the cell phone, this one on a laptop, and another on an I.
