Sometimes a Guy Needs a New Coat...

of paint! This weekend Todd from T.A.L.E.N.T. came out and repainted me, and then added a little something new to the park. Todd gave me my makeover several years ago, but also painted the wave pool building when the new wave system was installed in 2001 and the Hurricane building. I think I look pretty sharp now!

Bright and new!
Up close shot of my belly!

Check out my pearly whites.

And this is the something new! They painted my (gigantic) footsteps. These will go from the wave out to me!

We Need a Gorilla!

Hey folks! We are in need of someone to be me this summer! That's right! ME! A gorilla needs some days off, right?

Waterpark Mascot Tryouts are next Wednesday, June 9, from 4pm - 5pm. These tryouts are going on rain or shine, so make sure you come out and try out!

The tryouts are at Ocean Breeze Waterpark, so park in the main parking lot or have your ride drop you off at the front gate (sorry, no one is allowed with you at the try out). I will meet you at the gate and take you to try out when everyone arrives!

In order to be Hugh Mongous there are a few criteria that must be met:

1. You have to be 5'7" tall.
2. You need to be able to tolerate heat.
3. You have to be able to move well.
4. You need to want to be Hugh Mongous! You need the drive to entertain people and help ensure their visit is a fun one!

A few details about the try out:

• You need to be here at 4pm sharp. That means a quarter to 4. Not a minute later!
• Wear shorts, a t-shirt and sneakers. Please don't show up with jewelry, hats or flip flops on.
• Bring a towel and a CLEAR water bottle (in order to tolerate the heat, you should probably stay hydrated).
• Be prepared to show your ability to move. You will be taught several basic dance moves as a group and we will observe you as a group. You will also be taught a short series of dance moves and be asked to repeat it.
• You will have a brief verbal interview with the manager or a current mascot. Be ready to share dates you will NOT be available to work, as well as WHY you think you should be Hugh Mongous.
• If time allows, you will have the opportunity to try on the costume.

You must RSVP by emailing mwood@oceanbreezewaterpark.com or calling 422-4444 ext. 227 by June 9 at 9 am.

P.S. YOU DO NOT NEED EXPERIENCE TO BE HUGH MONGOUS. All the training will be provided if you are hired. To get hired you need a great attitude and you need to show that you can learn to move like Hugh. See you on the 9th!
