Clown Visits Council

Today, City Council literally sent in the clowns.

Councilman Curtis Jones this morning brought a clown to Council to be honored with a resolution.

The entertainer, who goes by the name Onionhead, is part of the Universoul Circus, which is currently doing shows in Fairmount Park. He was wearing giant shoes, a floppy tie and full sad face makeup.

“Entertainment is an important part of our cultural affairs,” Jones said.
