March 26, 2014 (NORTHBROOK, Ill.) --
There is some serious clowning around in north suburban Northbrook. The World Clown Association is holding its annual convention this week.
On Wednesday, Eyewitness News caught up with some of the attendees participating in the makeup competition.
It's just one of the many sessions to improve a clown's bag of tricks, like learning how to face paint, make balloon animals, and juggling.
