Ever since he had a clown at his birthday party as a young child, Jacob Cowger knew he wanted to be grow up to be a clown. Mentorship from numerous Shrine Clowns and training received at the Ringling Brothers, Barnum & Baily Clown College shaped Sparkles into the most well-known clown in the Cedar Rapids Metro area.
