Bailey the Clown
Bailey is a clown named after Barnum & Bailey Circus and Debora's great-grandfather, Lynton Bailey Wood, as well as Debora and Garth's friends, the Baileys. In fact, Bailey now lives with the Bailey family in Idaho!

Here the Baileys' cat, Boots, has decided that Bailey is a great companion. (We already knew he was!)
Bailey is 14.75 inches tall and has two colors of Schulte mohair for his costume and a third color for his head and paws. His pawpads are made from heavy-weight old gold ultrasuede. His black shoe button eyes are from Debora's grandmother's button box, and they twinkle as he thinks of amusing you with his clown routine.
The Crew members are quite pleased with Bailey. Aside from his sweet, no-one's-a-stranger personality, he was also bestowed with the Bear of the Month award from Teddy Bears Hug in 2002.
