Behind the scenes; this marked the first of four special episodes during the first four Creator/DisneyChannel seasons (1986-89) that would feature large crowds of kids in crowd scenes, including the children of producers Thomas W. Lynch and Gary Biller as well as Lynch and Biller making [[CreatorCameo cameo appearances]]; with the later examples adding "and a cast of thousands" to the opening credits alongside the dancers and one main adult character.

This episode marks the 2nd (of the last 3) episodes (along with "[[Recap/KidsIncorporatedS3E11PeterPam Peter Pam]]") featuring Stacy in center-stage; this time befriending a handicapped clown (guest star Henry Holden) as the kids hold a special clown contest.
Things start off with a performance of "Conga" - during which a man dressed as a clown enters the P*lace; and following the performance, the kids notice Riley posting signs advertising an upcoming clown contest, leading to their bringing a series of incidents where Stacy made others laugh ranging from [[Recap/KidsIncorporatedS1E9GoForTheGold accidentally knocking a gymnastics team down during a gymnastics contest]] to mixing up the rules for a school painting contest and [[TheDitz painting the school]] to a casserole she baked winning first prize [[EpicFail in a science contest]] - utterly embarrassing Stacy, who decides not to enter out of fear she'd lose and embarrass herself again. After finishing "Rock This Town"; the kids (again, sans Stacy) rush to get ready for the clown contest; while Stacy decides to try out Riley's special: "Strawberry Surprise" (which, as she notes it doesn't taste like strawberries, Riley jokes "That's the surprise"). Riley then tries cheering her up and convincing Stacy to enter, which she politely turns down.
At that point, the clown - named [[TheDanza Henry]] - introduces himself and likewise attempts to convince Stacy to reconside; though Stacy, still worried about messing up, walks away ("Say You, Say Me"). He then tells her about a young boy who wanted to become a clown, only to be stricken with polio; thus costing him the use of his legs, with Stacy (wrongly) assuming the young boy accepted his fate and moved on before Henry mentions that the boy didn't give up on that dream, which succeeded in convincing Stacy to enter the contest ("Walking on Sunshine"); which she goes on to win. It's after that point that Stacy realizes (after [[TheReveal seeing Henry grab his crutches]]) that the boy in the story [[AndThatLittleGirlWasMe was Henry himself]]. Riley then treats the crowd to free sodas (and gets sprtized by the other clowns with seltzer), setting up closing song "Celebrating You".

Lynch and Gary Biller as well as Lynch and Biller making [[CreatorCameo cameo appearances]]; with the later examples adding "and a cast of thousands" to the opening credits alongside the dancers and one main adult character.
