1991 Press Photo Shriner clown joking with police, West Allis - mjc11468

A convention of Shriners may sound like the setup line for a comedy sketch. And on Saturday, it was, as Shriners from around the Midwest descended upon West Allis with the expected result: a crowd pleasing parade with lots of strange getups and pageantry to match. Clowning around, even with police, is keystone in the Shriners' entertainment strategy. West Allis, Wisconsin.
