Smiley The Clown (secret identity Ron Henley) lives and plays in Lithia Springs, Georgia with his other clown friends and fans. 
From the time he was a baby, Smiley always knew he wanted to be a clown when he grew up. He always wanted to dress up as a clown on Halloween and preferred playing practical jokes instead of scaring people. His friends always considered him to be "the class clown" all through school and they all knew where to go if they needed a good laugh! The lengths he would go to just to pull off the perfect gag are still legendary. He did everything he could think of to help make himself a better clown. Magic tricks, face painting, site gags and studying slapstick comedy are only some of the many things he did (and continues to do) to be the best. He even took childcare classes and studied childhood psychology just to help him relate better to kids. Taking an important step to solidify his clown skills and be around like-minded people, Smiley became a Shrine Clown. Working the Circus and being in the parades is a dream come true for Smiley because he gets to bring the gift of laughter to thousands of healthy kids. He also gets the privilege of helping champion the cause of supporting the Shriner's Hospitals which provides top-of-the-line free medical care for children in need. Sweetwater Sidekicks Clown Unit  Along with the Sidekicks, Smiley is proud to be a member of the COAI (Clowns Of America International) and the WCA (World Clown Association)    | |
