"The small stuff" The purpose of the Clownville News website is to provide hyperlinks to news articles on clowns and other entertainers. We search the internet looking for News articles. Since we are a 'happy' newspaper, we ignore the stories of people dressing up as a clown and doing bad things. And we ignore stories where someone is called a clown. The web site is updated on at least a weekly basis with the 'new' edition ready every Monday morning. But if there is nothing good to add, there may be no updates for that week. We display hyperlinks to information from clown sites that run an News feed (Using RSS or ATOM). Such as the CRD (ClownResourceDirectory.com) and Clown Events (ClownEvents.com). If you run such a 'feed', send us an email with info on the feed and we will add you to the website.
