Kids 1-9: Dress up as a clown (or your favorite character) for Broomfield Days!

The Westminster-Broomfield Optimist Club continues a 41-year tradition of holding a Clown Contest on Saturday, September 17 during Broomfield Days. 

The contest honors Marlene Politzer of Bal Swan Children’s Center. Contestants take the main stage in the park for an opportunity to sing, dance, and tell something about themselves.

Every child entering the contest gets a prize. The top two winners in each age group (1-3, 4-6, 7-9) get a new bicycle! The 3rd and 4th place winners get a choice of prizes. Every entrant gets a stuffed animal.

Then, the children (with a parent, if desired) get to ride the Optimist float! A special bonus comes from the photographs created by the Broomfield Photography Club, which are made available to entrants and parents.
