Lindy
Kelly
is a native of Saint Louis, Missouri where she enjoys living
with her family. She has an accounting background and a
delightful manner with people. In her previous employment, Lindy
was a Human Resources Manager for an international company.
After more than 20 years in the accounting field working towards
her “Winnebago Plan” Lindy has happily retired and is free to
travel with her husband and children in their motor home. “My
dream was to travel the United States once I retired. Now I
have the perfect companion in Joey. I also have an opportunity to
perform with him. My children and I have an exciting and
wonderful life and we've already enjoyed seeing more than
half of this beautiful country of ours. Life is very good,”
Lindy said. |

Lindy
loves parades and circuses. Naturally, her favorite performers
are clowns. She attended the Emmett Kelly Festival
in Houston, Missouri for the first time in May of 1991. In addition to meeting Joey, she was treated to a parade, a charming street fair,
hundreds of clowns and entertainment all weekend.
The Emmett Kelly Festival and Houston will always have
significance for her. “Houston is where we met.
Fifteen years later I married Joey and performed with him there.
Life is certainly interesting,”
Lindy said. The Emmett Kelly
Festival remains unique
and entertaining. |

A typical day for Lindy has her seeing the children off to
school then attending school herself. Make that circus school.
Everyone attends circus school in the Kelly home where there is
equipment in the family room and a trapeze and wire walking
equipment set up in the back yard. “The kids and I are
acquiring circus skills and training daily. We’re learning to
walk rope, juggle, rola bola, diablo, swing on the trapeze and
ride a unicycle. Joey’s an excellent teacher. He makes it
challenging and fun,” Lindy stated. |

Circus is not the only thing on Lindy’s mind. In addition to
constructing this website and preparing their internet business for selling Kelly Collectibles, Lindy juggles other
interests throughout the day. Sewing is one of her favorite
hobbies. She loves sewing and is an expert seamstress.
Having
learned much from her mother who made many of her favorite
childhood clothes, Lindy has made most of the costumes for
herself and her children . |

Emmett Kelly Doll |
Lindy
has an enviable collection of Emmett Kelly Clown Dolls
manufactured fifty years ago by Baby Barry. She is restoring
them and has tailored new clothes for the dolls. The
new clothes are styled like the original with nicer fabric,
featuring a green button shirt, blue colored patched pants, a
hounds tooth vest and an upgraded, handsome, tweed jacket. Look
for restored Emmett Kelly dolls and updated sets of clothes for
your treasured doll as well as other collectible merchandise in the
Midway. |

Lindy
has always been an interesting, accomplished, diversified person
of respect and likeability in the corporate world. She has
always been relied upon as a dependable, trusted leader and
friend. Now she is a vested partner in the entertainment
business. Look for Lindy as Ring Mistress in the Joey
Kelly Family Circus appearing in 2007. “It’s interesting
how people often think it would be fun to run away with the
circus, but I never expected to find myself in the center ring
with a whistle and a red nose,” Lindy laughed. |
