The NAJA Clowns went to MSA in Sioux Falls this year with the idea ofcompeting in everything we could and ha ving a lot of fun. The BelleFourche and Rapid City Clowns went as one single N AJA Clown unit,and everyone definitely knew we were there. At the awards ceremonyduring the clown dinner on Friday night, the comment w as made theywere glad we didn't go to Imperial because the y wouldn't have wonanything. I was coerced into taking the position of 3rd Vice President ofthe Midwest Shrine Clown Association during the awards ceremony. Iwill be President when we host MSA in Deadwood and will be lookingfor a lot of help to make it a success.
Before and after the parades, especially the one in Tea, our golf cart wasbusy transporting people back and forth from the parade route and stagingarea, to the Oasis and the parking area. At one point we had made somany runs we said we needed to put up a sign that said “CLOWN TAXI”.It was all part of the fun and we were glad to do it. A special thanks tothe guys who drove my pickup with the clown trailer in the parades andto Wayne Miner from WAWA Temple who drove our golf cart in theparades. Without your help we would have had to take clowns away fromriding our scooters in the parades and interacting with the crowds.
We had one ne w clown and several who weren't ne w but had nevercompeted. Every one of the NAJA Clowns who competed wonsomething, which is quite an accomplishment as some of thecompetition was pretty tough. The awards we won are as follows:
Chris Buckius (Yippy) - 2nd - 1 man skit, 2nd - Character makeup
Clyde Smith (Rowdy) - 1st - Character Makeup
Ron Nenaber (Pokey) - 1st - Whiteface Makeup
Ray Leeman (Pappy) - 1st - Paradeability
Joel Stephens (Katchup) - 1st - Auguste Makeup, 1st - 1 man skit, 2nd Paradeability
Rick Dehaven (Taz) - 2nd - Auguste Makeup
Chris Buckius, Ray Leeman - 1st - 2 man skit
Clyde Smith, Ron Nenaber - 2nd - 2 man skit
Joel Stephens, Rick DeHaven - 3rd - 2 man skit
Clyde Smith, Ray Leeman, Kacee Spaulding(Twitch), Eric Fisher (Shoey)- 1st - Group Skit
Chris Buckius, Ron Nenaber, Joel Stephens, Rick Dehaven - 2nd - Group Skit
Besides winning a lot of a wards, we had a great timewith everyone at the competition and picked up a lot ofnew ideas and tips on how to get better at what we do.For those who didn't go, you missed out on a great time.Maybe you can go ne xt year and help us bring homemore awards.
See You There,
Ray Leeman, President, NAJA Clown Patrol

Tim is a dedicatedShriner; he does what it takes to make it work.Thank you Tim. The outriders for thecompetition for both the Stage Coach andChuck Wagon were Russell and Neilon Millar.After the competition on Friday morning theMSA Horse Patrol Assoc. met at the SheratonInn for an a wards luncheon and the StageCoach won 1st place in hitch and the ChuckWagon won 2nd place in hitch. There were notrophies this year as El Riad decided to award$75.00 to the Minn. Hosp. for 1st place, $50.00
for 2nd place and $25.00 for third place in the winners’ names.So, The Naja Cowboys had $125.00 donated to the Children'sHospital in the unit's name.
Also, on Thursday night we paraded in Tea, SD and all horse unitswere judged as horse units re gardless if they had a stagecoach,buggy or whatever; and there the Co wboys took 3rd place. The
Stage Coach and Chuck Wagon were inthe parade. Eric Fisher rode shotgun forthe Stage Coach and Tim Vasknetz rodeshotgun for the Chuck Wagon. We alsoparaded in Brandon on Saturdaymorning before loading up and cominghome. Outriders for both parades wereWillis Kopren, Mike Stirling, Russelland Neilon Millar , Rod Baumber ger,Clyde Smith, and Jim Cummings.

MSA Parade
The NAJA Clowns went to MSA in Sioux Falls this year with the idea ofcompeting in everything we could and ha ving a lot of fun. The BelleFourche and Rapid City Clowns went as one single N AJA Clown unit,and everyone definitely knew we were there. At the awards ceremonyduring the clown dinner on Friday night, the comment w as made theywere glad we didn't go to Imperial because the y wouldn't have wonanything. I was coerced into taking the position of 3rd Vice President ofthe Midwest Shrine Clown Association during the awards ceremony. Iwill be President when we host MSA in Deadwood and will be lookingfor a lot of help to make it a success.
Before and after the parades, especially the one in Tea, our golf cart wasbusy transporting people back and forth from the parade route and stagingarea, to the Oasis and the parking area. At one point we had made somany runs we said we needed to put up a sign that said “CLOWN TAXI”.It was all part of the fun and we were glad to do it. A special thanks tothe guys who drove my pickup with the clown trailer in the parades andto Wayne Miner from WAWA Temple who drove our golf cart in theparades. Without your help we would have had to take clowns away fromriding our scooters in the parades and interacting with the crowds.
We had one ne w clown and several who weren't ne w but had nevercompeted. Every one of the NAJA Clowns who competed wonsomething, which is quite an accomplishment as some of thecompetition was pretty tough. The awards we won are as follows:
Chris Buckius (Yippy) - 2nd - 1 man skit, 2nd - Character makeup
Clyde Smith (Rowdy) - 1st - Character Makeup
Ron Nenaber (Pokey) - 1st - Whiteface Makeup
Ray Leeman (Pappy) - 1st - Paradeability
Joel Stephens (Katchup) - 1st - Auguste Makeup, 1st - 1 man skit, 2nd Paradeability
Rick Dehaven (Taz) - 2nd - Auguste Makeup
Chris Buckius, Ray Leeman - 1st - 2 man skit
Clyde Smith, Ron Nenaber - 2nd - 2 man skit
Joel Stephens, Rick DeHaven - 3rd - 2 man skit
Clyde Smith, Ray Leeman, Kacee Spaulding(Twitch), Eric Fisher (Shoey)- 1st - Group Skit
Chris Buckius, Ron Nenaber, Joel Stephens, Rick Dehaven - 2nd - Group Skit
Besides winning a lot of a wards, we had a great timewith everyone at the competition and picked up a lot ofnew ideas and tips on how to get better at what we do.For those who didn't go, you missed out on a great time.Maybe you can go ne xt year and help us bring homemore awards.
See You There,
Ray Leeman, President, NAJA Clown Patrol
