At this years circus, Hamid Morton Circus hired Nino the clown as part of their troupe. Nino is a hall of fame clown. He was the youngest clown ever inducted. Nino's family runs a family circus in his native country of Italy and have been in running it since 1842. Nino is Giovanni Zoppe and you can find out more about him and his family at www.zoppe.net and www.zoppe.tv 

At this years circus, Nino had an apprentice. The 3 year old son of the owner of the circus. This lad has show business in his blood. I suspect we'll be seeing him perform for years and years to come before taking over the family business as an adult.

Here's a couple pictures that we took with Nino, Little Nino, and the Arab Shrine Clowns.
