Clark needs you
Audition for the chance to star in a Clark Pest Control commercial at the Lodi Grape Festival
-
Ever dream of seeing your face on the small screen? Now is your chance! Clark Pest Control is holding open auditions for the chance to star in an upcoming television commercial during the Lodi Grape Festival. Participants will each create their own commercial in front of a green screen that will later appear as a backdrop of a residential home. Props will be provided, but contestants can use their own creativity to ad lib a 30-second spot ending with the widely recognized "Clark We Need You!" call for help.
The contest to star in a Clark Pest Control commercial will run each day of the Lodi Grape Festival. Auditions will be held at the Clark Pest Control booth (near the Pavilion) from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 11, and from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday, Sept. 12 through Sunday, Sept. 14. The Grape Festival grounds are located at 413 East Lockeford Street in Lodi.
All of the auditions taped during the festival will be featured on the Clark Pest Control Web site (www.clarkpest.com) beginning Monday, Sept. 15. The winner, who will star in one of next season’s new commercials, will be notified by Sept. 30.
“This is the only audition we are holding, and we are excited to give this unique opportunity to Lodi residents and other regional visitors,” said Robert Baker, operations manager, Clark Pest Control. “As a locally-based company, it is extremely important for us to show our appreciation to the community that has given us so much support.”
Clark Pest Control has historically used humor in its commercials to convey the many problems their customers are encountering and the services they provide to counteract those issues. For next season’s advertising campaign, the company is looking for a friendly face that can represent its broad customer base. Before auditioning, contestants are encouraged to check out past television commercials at www.clarkpest.com.
The contest, and Clark Pest Control’s sponsorship of the Lodi Grape Festival, is also part of a fundraising effort for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Clark Pest Control is selling $1 raffle tickets at its tent for daily prize drawings. The money raised, along with money collected at bins stationed throughout the festival, will be donated to this charitable cause.
