Cory the Clown to Appear in Novant Health Thanksgiving Day Parade!

Cory the Clown, star of FUN WITH STEM, will be on his horse-drawn cartoon wagon with his friend, Darrel the Barrel (robotic puppet), at Charlotte's NOVANT HEALTH THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE to kick off FUN WITH STEM, a live show at Blumenthal Performing Arts Booth Playhouse, March 28-April 6 and his new Website: CorytheClown.Com.

Charlotte Center City Partners is producing this year's parade. US News & World Report included Charlotte's Thanksgiving Day Parade on its list of America's Best Thanksgiving Day Parades. Novant Health has signed on as the parade's title sponsor for the next three years, guaranteeing this tradition in Charlotte will continue. WBTV3 will televise the parade festivities with cameras set up at Levine Avenue of the Arts, as the parade marches south, 1 mile to Stonewall Street.

Cory the Clown will be waving and clowning with Darrel the Barrel on the parade route. Cory has appeared in many parades and he has performed his live variety show for US presidents and Hollywood's elite. He has appeared on TV nationally in CORY'S LEARNING CORNER, through Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member stations and American Public Television. His new Website: www.CorytheClown.Com will launch on Thanksgiving Day with enjoyable episodic videos and fun activites for children.

Brandi Alyssa Young and Quinn Riback, FUN WITH STEM cast members, will also walk down the parade route with Cory the Clown. The parade steps off at 9:30AM on Tryon Street.
