Bill Summary
Designates the last Saturday of April of each year as "Emmett Kelly Day" in Missouri
AI Summary
This bill designates the last Saturday of April each year as "Emmett Kelly Day" in Missouri, a commemorative day honoring Emmett Kelly, a renowned circus performer originally from Houston, Missouri. Kelly was famous for his iconic clown character "Weary Willie," a melancholy, sad-faced clown that became a beloved and recognizable figure in American entertainment during the mid-20th century. By establishing this day, the Missouri state legislature aims to recognize Kelly's significant contributions to the entertainment world and celebrate a notable native son. The bill amends Chapter 9 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri by adding a new section that officially recognizes the day and encourages Missouri citizens to honor Kelly's life and legacy.
