Ever Wanted to Run the Hot Dog Race?

by Alex

Because now you can:
The Cleveland Indians are currently scouting for Promotion Team Members (aka Fun Bunch) to assist with the execution of all in-park and plaza entertainment, which enhances the atmosphere and fan experience. Fun Bunch team members will assist with opening ceremonies, national anthem, ceremonial first pitches, in-game and post-game contests and promotions, promotional giveaways, and special celebrations. They will also assist Slider with all skit performances as part of our in-game entertainment, and interact with Fans and the general public to generate excitement at Progressive Field. Each member of the Fun Bunch will be involved in additional responsibilities as assigned by Manager of Promotions. Fun Bunch members should be available to work extended days, evenings, weekends, and holidays as directed. Team members are also required to make outside appearances (Club Functions, Private Parties, etc.) at various times throughout the year with the team mascot (including evenings and weekends). We are seeking energetic individuals with previous experience in promotions, special events, street teams, youth programs, and exposure to performing in front of large audiences. Fun Bunch applicants must have some type of previous training in high school sports/track and cardio/respiratory endurance between 400-800 meters. Running skills will be tested as Fun Bunch employees will be required to participate in the Hot Dog Races. If you are an enthusiastic entertainer interested in creating excitement, we want to meet you! Please apply today!
Nine dollars per hour to dress up as a hot dog and defeat the evil Ketchup? I'm so down. Although if you're a reader of this blog, it's doubtful you have the necessary "previous training in high school sports/track and cardio/respiratory endurance between 400-800 meters".

You can apply at the Indians' job board. Good luck, everyone.

Good opportunity to put those marketing or communication degrees to work...

Totally unrelated to the hot dog racing, but there is a King James Parkway in Westlake (and plaza) that you should probably visit on Chosen's Day.
