HULL, MA CLOWNS GET SERIOUS ABOUT ROMANCE ON

NATIONAL TV'S "TOTALLY OUTRAGEOUS" SHOW
TO AIR ON SATURDAY, MARCH 24

DATELINE: HULL, MA, MARCH 5, 2001…Local celebrities, clown team and
Hull, MA residents, Fruit and Jingles will be the feature of ABC's "Totally Outrageous" segment airing Saturday, March 24th from 8 to 9 p.m. The 20-year clown veterans' outrageous romance and clown wedding will be the focus of the show.

Susan Oberg and Harvey Jacobvitz are Fruit and Jingles, respectively, the husband and wife clown team. Fruit and Jingles are encouraging friends, family and the public to join them at The Red Parrot, a well known South Shore restaurant and lounge, at 1 Hull Shore Drive, Hull, MA to view the segment "live" on big screen TV.

WED FOR GOOD CAUSE
Having known each other from clown conventions, Fruit and Jingles' wacky romance evolved into marriage and a very large clown wedding. With over 200 clowns in attendance, Fruit and Jingles' wedding was actually a fundraiser for The Friends of the Paragon Carousel and "Why Me, Inc.", a non-profit charitable organization for children with cancer that provides 24-hour emotional and financial support to families whose children live with cancer and those who have just lost a child to the disease.

"We are thrilled to be able to give the world a glimpse of our off-beat courtship because it illuminates just how serious we are about clowning for a good cause," noted Susan Oberg, Fruit of "Fruit and Jingles". "It is a great pleasure to clown and make people smile. Laughing is an important part of living, its music to the soul."
   
With many professional affiliations and accomplishments, Fruit and Jingles have been the recipients of numerous awards throughout the years. Fruit and Jingles are certified Judges as well as Artists in Resident for the Clowns of America International (C.O.A.I.). They serve as certified Judges for the World Clown Association and Shrine Clowns. Additionally, Jingles is a past president of the South Shore Joeys and Fruit is the founder and past president of Clown Alley #232.

CLOWNING AT UMASS MED CENTER
Among a number of clown activities, Fruit and Jingles have served as board members for Why Me, Inc. for the past eleven years. Fruit has developed a "Clown Therapy Program" at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in conjunction with the Child Life staff. They have developed and implemented an annual "Clown Clinic" for children with cancer. Both Fruit and Jingles have served as Chairpersons for the C.O.A.I. Northeast Regional Convention and C.O.A.I. International Convention and have lectured at Emerson and Shrine Clown College.
