About Lotta The Clown
My name is Treesa Svatos and I was born in Portland, Oregon in the mid 1960's, so I suppose I am middle aged if you
are counting years. Our family was planted in Canby, Oregon in 1994 when my husband and I bought our home.
Since 2001, I have been a school bus driver. I enjoy driving the Here are a few of my favorite things: FLOWERS, any and all. I like to hear the joyful laughter of children. Holding puppies and smelling a puppy's breath. Receiving dandelions from children, as if it were the most exquisite flower ever. Going camping in God's wilderness with my family and friends. Riding my bike to work on sunny days. Painting my nails and toes! Getting up on a Saturday morning only to watch movies! And my biggest love of all is chocolate. My biggest wish is that one day chocolate will be FAT free!
I am a member of the Rose City Clowns and a registered member of the Clowns of America International. As part of the Rose City Clown Ally I haveSome of the training I have gone through is Clowning 101, part one and two from the Rose City Clown Alley. I went to the Northwest Festival of Clowns in Bellingham, Washington in 2007. Lotta received a gold medal award in paradeability for being a member in the Purple Plunger Brigade.
I attended David Ginn's Christmas Magic training seminar. I learned many techniques that I use in my clown magic today. http://www.ginnmagic.comI attended Steve Kissell's training seminar on Family Fun Entertainment, Magic & Story Telling along with wacky restaurant routines. http://www.kisselltalks.com
I have also attended training from the Puckett Family of Magic. http://www.amazingtruthministries.comI learned many magic tricks at the Ickle Pickle workshop in 2008
As a bus driver I was looking for something to do during summers and non-school days. I started my journey into the world of clowning in March 2007.Being a clown also gives me a way to give back to my community. As a Rose City Clown, I have been involved in events such as the Clackamas Foster Children's Picnic, Thanksgiving Day Red Cross Blood Drive and The Annual Candle Lighters party for children affected with cancer. I look forward to many years of giving back what ever I can with the gifts God has given me.
