Hi, I'm Bobo. I have been entertaining New England families since October of 1997.
That means I'm already TEN years old! I travel to homes, resorts, business locations,
and many other spots around New England, to present my Inter-Active Children's 'Lite'
Magic Show, and I make balloon creations like hats, animals, swords, flowers, etcetera,
for all who want one. My magic show consists of selected 'Lite' comical magic
tricks, most of which require me to get the children in the audience involved. I kinda
goof things up a little and they set me straight. If time allows, or if requested
during the show, I'll lead the gang in a round of the 'Chicken Dance'. I find that many
kids do not know the moves to this dance, but that's ok, because I teach them. The kids
(and the adults too) always have a great time at my shows.
I'm often called a Saint. Probably because I exhibit great patience with the children,
even when they get a bit roudy. I just quiet them, sit them down, and continue with
whatever trick I'm working on. Sometimes, when I don't notice the magic happening, but
they do, it gets a bit loud and funny!
Many times, people ask me "How far do you travel for a party?" I confirm for them that
I am a travelling clown, and if you'll pay a one way travel fee for me to get to you,
I'll go all over New England!
In fact, most of the work that I do, requires me to travel some long distances. Up here in the
mountains, we measure distance by time. I've driven over 5 hours to get to one birthday party.
I live up near the base of Mount Washington, but my work is not limited to this area alone.
I have been to homes and bussinesses hours away from my own. From personal Birthday Parties and
Holiday Parties, to Grand Opening celebrations, to organized Youth Activities, to Church Functions
and Family Get-togethers. I've been there, made the show a success, and had a blast!
If MUSIC is more your style of fun, BOBO ENTERTAINMENT also provides
dance music and Karaoke fun with Miss Sunshine! "Kids and Karaoke?" you ask? YES INDEEDY!! Kids
like to sing and be the life of the party too, ya know! Miss Sunshine has karaoke and regular
music especially assembled for kids from three to eighteen. She LOVES working with kids and
families, and she knows how to control the music for them.
I feel it is important to note here, that we very much enjoy working with kids of 'different'
abilities. We love the smiles and interesting attitudes they can present. If you are involved
with these kids, and you have any particular events coming up, please give us a call.
Contact me for more details on hiring either Miss Sunshine or Bobo for your own personal
party of fun! And yes, she travels too!

For those of you who know me from my show at the Nordic Village Resort,
I'm in the middle of the 2008 Summer series of nightly entertainment. For my 10th season
of performing for our guests, I started on May 24th, and will end on October 11th.
We always have a great time at the show, where the energetic youngsters get to come up and help me
put on a nice magical, comical performance for their own fun and for the rest of the audience.
Then, following the show, I always make sure that everyone who wants one, gets
a customized balloon creation to keep. Do you remember the brightly colored balloon hats and
flowers I like to make? Aren't they beautiful?
And don't forget about the bonfire where you can roast marshmallows around the open firepit
from 7:00 to 10:00 pm. (Gee, - I wonder who the wise-guy was that left a marshmallow on the
rock for me to sit on!? - eww!)
Is your family making plans to stay at Luxury Mountain Getaways on vacation between now and
next Summer? If you do make it up here, please leave me a note at the reservations desk that says:
HI BOBO, we were here!! I sure love to see my fans and new friends
up here thru the Summer!
You should see what happens at the Nestlenook Village
Just before Christmas!
For the past few years, a wonderful thing has been happening over at
Nestlenook Farm. I have discovered a North Pole type workshop! Complete with elves! A good
friend of mine, his name is Ebeneezer L. Finch, is part of a special
presentation program that the folks over there like to call:
"The Miracle at Nestlenook Ledges".
While families are waiting for a real Winter Wonderland Sleigh Ride, they are brought upstairs
to 'The Shoppe'. What a sight to behold. I can't tell you of all the things in there, but the
place is very beautifully lit up and well decorated. You might think you are in Santa's North
Pole workshop! You can see the elves busy at work (or at play), getting ready for Christmastime.
Ebeneezer greets the visitors and invites them to sit down to enjoy the story of the Miracle at
Nestlenook Ledges. As the story unfolds, you'll learn of how a selfish boy ... uh, Well, he gets
into some trouble and needs to be rescued. It effects his whole family and, in the end, I think
he learns a valuable lesson. But you can be the judge of that. Then an old and quite familiar
friend of Ebeneezer's shows up and ... well, you won't walk away empty-handed.
After all this, the famlies go back down the stairs and outside to get on one of three
'Horse Drawn Open Sleighs' for a MAGNIFICENT winter ride through the property. If you're on this
ride, you might even get the opportunity to stop the sleigh and really feed some live reindeer!
I got to take this ride, and I thought it was just so neat to see an albino reindeer. All white!
A few of them actually ate some pellets right out of my hand. Gosh, that was exciting.
I can't wait to go again!

Bobo’s College Daze
Did you know that even the great Bobo T. Clown had to go
to school? Yes indeedy! But this wasn't just any other school. Oh no, the school I went to was
called
"THE PROFESSOR OFFTOP MEMORIAL CLOWN SCHOOL"
... and it's right here in New Hampshire (down by Manchester).
I had to earn myself a fancy little Diploma,
which now hangs nicely on my home office wall! In this school, I learned all kinds of neat things
to do or not to do, in the name of trying to be funny. I learned about clown ediquette,
costumes, make-up application & removal, clown history, well the list just goes on and on.
(Yes, I even fell victim to the Pie-in-the-Face gag.)
But I must mention here that this is where I first learned to make those fancy
balloon animals, hats, and other creations. And YES, I had plenty of homework to do.
I had to practice and practice with lots of balloons to get my art just right.
And I still have to keep in practice.

Bobo's Fan Club is up and running.
Bobo's Official Fan Club officially came together on July 20, 2000.
Pizza and soda were served to everybody at the opening Pizza Party at Mr. Pizza restaurant in
Gorham, New Hampshire. 12 kids signed up that day as the first official members.
They each received a paper id tag to identify their status. We introduced ourselves, discussed
ideas for club activities, and played with balloons. But mostly, we just enjoyed the PIZZA!
Since then, 23 more names have been added to the roster! Some live in Massachusetts,
and some are in Maine, but we all love Bobo and PIZZA!
Check out the Fan Club page to see who they are. If you are one of the Fan Club members, be sure
you have your new badge ready to go. We have switched over from the original paper id tags to
real pin-on badge-a-minutes! I believe they have all been mailed out by now.
Would you like to join Bobo's Fan Club?
That's easy enough. Just send me a short letter
describing what you know and like about Bobo, and why you would like to be a
Fan Club Member.
Photo Pages
Also, have you seen my Photo Album?
Can you recognise anyone? Let me know if you have any pictures that you would like to have put in
the Album, I'll be happy to put them in there for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
On the Agenda
- The Bobo Fan Club's next official meeting...
I want all my club members to e-mail me or call me to let me know that you are ready
to be at the next meeting. It's time to start planning for the September meeting & PIZZA PARTY.
- Finish setting up the Fan Club Site Page. (I still need your input.)
I just can't seem to get the ideas rolling.
Fall/Winter 2008/09
Summer is almost over ALREADY?? I am one busy little clown this Summer. I'm looking forward to having a
little down time. Maybe in September, I'll have time to go to the beach and sit in my lounge chair?
Or camp out in my tent?
Really now, even though the Summer is half over, we still love to get as
many visitors up here in the North Woods as we can accomodate. So will you plan on visiting this
beautiful area? Is your family part of the touristing bunches that arrive with the leaf peepers,
snow-skiers or school vacationers? Did you catch any scenic photos of our area critters or sunset
colors? If so, care to share them with me? What do you usually like to do for your Summer or even
off-Summer activities? And do you plan to do anything new this year?
What local, fun events in your area do you like to attend in the Winter?
Bobo is looking to line up events to keep busy with during this upcoming Winter season.
What events are going to happen in your community that you're looking forward to?
Send me your ideas.
Bobo's Guest Directory is operational and waiting for your input.
Will you take just a moment to add your comments and let me know what you like about my site here?
Oh, and I'm still looking for some neat ideas for Fan Club activities.
I need your ideas, this is a good place to submit them.
I invite you to share your stories, plans and ideas concerning fun & safety for this
Winter/playtime season. Please put comments into my guestbook,
so that we can share our ideas with other kids too. Don't worry if you can't spell everything
right, I'll be happy to fix it up for you.
