The Chatham-Kent Barnstormers are looking for someone to bring their mascot to life at Fergie Jenkins Field this summer for the inaugural 2024 IBL season.

The Barnstormers are looking for someone who can move effortlessly and gracefully in a full-body mascot suit, complete with a headpiece that may restrict the range of motion and visibility. The ideal height range for applicants is between five foot nine and six foot one.

The Barnstomers are looking for someone with expertise in emoting and entertaining while confined within a mascot suit. Someone who can give high-fives and perform dance routines.

To apply, send a letter of intention as well as background music needed for a 90 second audition. No walk-on auditions will take place.

The deadline to submit your name is Friday, Feb. 2.

The selected applicants will be called for a live audition at Fergie Jenkins Field on Feb. 10 at 1 p.m.

The public is invited on Feb. 10 at 10:30 a.m. at the Field House for the grand reveal of the Chatham-Kent Barnstormers mascot.
