Q. What are latex balloons made of?
A. Little-Known Facts
Latex balloon are made from 100% natural latex— not plastic. Our latex balloons are
biodegradable, and decompose as fast as an oak leaf in your backyard!
Latex balloons come from rubber trees. Latex is collected by cutting the tree’s bark, then catching the latex in a
cup. Latex harvesting doesn't hhurt the tree!
Latex balloons are Earth-friendly! Rubber trees grow in rain forests. Latex harvesting discourages deforestation
because latex-producing trees are left intact. A tree can produce latex for up to 40 years!
If the sound of a balloon popping startles you, you a’re not alone. A bursting balloon actually creates a small
sonic boom! Once a hole is made in an inflated balloon, the quick release of the balloon’s energy, or air, causes the
hole to grow at almost the speed of sound in rubber. Since this speed is much higher than the speed of sound in air, the
hole in the balloon actually breaks the sound barrier, creating a sonic boom.
Balloons were invented in 1824, the same year as the electromagnet.
Pioneer manufactures nearly one billion latex balloons per year.
Helium-filled balloons float because helium is lighter than nitrogen and oxygen, the two components of air.

Q. What is the Clown CODE OF ETHICS?
A.The Eight Clown Commandments
I. I will keep my acts, performance and behavior in good taste
while I am in costume and makeup. I will remember at all times that I have
been accepted as a member of the clown club only to provide others,
principally children, with clean clown comedy entertainment. I will
remember that a good clown entertains others by making fun of himself or
herself and not at the expense or embarassment of others.
II. I will learn to apply my makeup in a professional manner. I
will provide my own costume. I will carry out my appearance and assignment
for the entertainment of others and not for personal gain or personal
publicity when performing for either the International club or alley
events. I will always try to remain anonymous while in makeup and costume
as a clown, though there may be circumstances when it is not reasonably
possible to do so.
III. I will neither drink alcoholic beverages nor smoke while in
makeup or clown costume. Also, I will not drink alcoholic beverages prior
to any clown appearances. I will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady, never
interfering with other acts, events, spectators, or individuals. I will
not become involved in or tolerate sexual harassment or discrimination on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability
or any protected status.
IV. I will remove my makeup and change into my street closes as
soon as possible following my appearance, so that I cannot be associated
with any incident that may be detrimental to the good name of clowning. I
will conduct myself as a gentleman/lady at all times.
V. While on appearance in makeup and costume, I will carry out the
directives of the producer or his designated deputies. I will abide by all
performance rules without complaint in public.
VI. I will do my very best to maintain the best clown standards of
makeup, costuming, properties, and comedy.
VII. I will appear in as many clown shows as I possibly can.
VIII. I will be commited to providing and atmosphere free of
discrimination and harassment for clowns of all ages to share ideas and
learn about the art of clowning.
Q. What is the Prayer of a Clown?
A. Help me to create more laughter that tears, dispense more happiness than gloom, spread more cheer than despair.
Never let me grow so big that I will fail to see the wonder in the eyes of a child or the twinkle in the eyes
of the aged.
Never let me forget that I am a CLOWN... that my work is to cheer people up, make them happy, and make them
laugh, make them forget momentarily all the unpleasant things in their lives.
Never let me jeopardize the integrity of clowndom by improper coduct. Help me to always make others proud of my
actions as a clown.
Never let me aquire financial success to the point where I will discontinue calling upon my Creator in the hour
of plenty.
