Wausau Area Jaycees Fourth of July Celebration
July 1-4, 2000 Marathon Park, Wausau, Wisconsin Kids sat wide-eyed and open-mouthed Saturday as Da the Clown pulled colored handkerchiefs from his mouth on his stage at Marathon Park. Many turned to ask their parents how he did it, while bubbles from a bubble-making machine blew around their heads. ... It was early in the day when 7-year-old Jonathan Ford declared Da the Clown the highlight of the day. "He was funny," he said. -- Wausau Daily Herald, July 2, 2000; page 1A; 3A
