The Down a Clown Carnival Game (also known as the Cat Rack Carnival Game or Clown Toss) is an excellent game for the knowledgeable contestant to win. Basically, the targets, cats or clowns (whatever you think they most resemble), are situated on three horizontal and parallel racks about fifteen feet away from the player.  To win, the player must throw a bean bag and knock down three cats or clowns.

 

These Punk Cats or Clowns are 14" high and made of cloth material surrounding a hinged paddle. The head of the cat or clown is adorned with wild, fuzzy hair that fills the space between the creatures.  If struck solidly by a ball, the Cat or Clown will tumble effortlessly backwards -- and that's how you "Down A Clown"!.  But. any wild, high velocity tosses end up blasting through the mane of the cat or the hair of the clown and then bangs into the loud aluminum backing of the rack to make a cool "rumble" that resonates throughout the carnival area!
