More than 500 clowns meet in Mexico for laughing convention

Mexico City - More than 500 clowns gathered Monday in Mexico City for an international convention including a five-minute, non- stop laughing binge. The four-day 'Laughing Fair,' organized by the Brotherhood of Latino Clowns and supported by Mexican cultural organizations, offers workshops such as balloon-twisting, mime, acting, wardrobe, children's games and face-painting. Clowns were set to gather Wednesday at the Monument to the Revolution in Mexico City to laugh and make others laugh. The so- called Five-Minute Laughing Record is intended as a sort of therapy to release stress with the world still immersed in an economic slump, organizers stressed. The convention features representatives from Peru, El Salvador, Honduras, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, the United States and Mexico.
