Three clowns including Glitterella, aka Edith Stephenson, from Nampa, and Miss Bea Happy, aka, Brenda Castle, from Caldwell stop to wave to passing cars as they make their way down the steps of the state capitol in Boise. Lollipop, aka Barbara Grimm, from Boise, was having a little trouble navigating the steps with her big shoes. The three members of the Idaho Gem Jesters were on a mission to pick up a proclamation which was signed by Gov. Butch Otter declaring this week Clown Week as part of the big International Clown Week celebration which is the first week in August. You write the cutline (AP Photo/Statesman: Shawn Raecke)
