Weary Willie Day

9

Dec

Weary Willie Day, celebrated on December 9th, honors a famous clown named "Weary Willie," played by Emmett Kelly. Willie was not a happy, cheerful clown like others. Instead, he looked sad and worn out, wearing ragged clothes. People liked him because he made them laugh with his funny, sad act, showing it's okay to feel down sometimes. The day encourages us to appreciate clowns who bring joy and laughter, even with a frown. It's a reminder of how humor can help us through tough times and that it's okay to show feelings.

How to celebrate Weary Willie Day?

On Weary Willie Day, put on a clown nose and wear oversized, colorful clothes to look like a clown. Paint a red smile on your face and wear a floppy hat. You can watch funny clown videos or read jokes to make yourself laugh. Try walking funny like a clown and practice silly tricks, like pretending to juggle. Draw pictures of clowns with big shoes and funny hats. You can eat popcorn or cotton candy, just like you would at a circus.
