Clowns bring fun

Arthur, 5, and Ali, 11, learn some tricks from members of the Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus during a recent visit to the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island in New Hyde Park. The clowns showed the children how to juggle while chatting with them and putting smiles on their faces. Juan Qiroz Olate also brought two of his dogs to show canine tricks. “It was fun,” said Arthur’s mom, Charnel Jerome, whose other two children Mackenzie, 8, and Michaela, 7, were also at the show. “The kids always love seeing clowns.”
