We are looking for ranchers, commercial fishermen, mechanics, factory workers, construction workers, loggers, window washers, welders… you name it! Do you have an inspiring story about how you, or someone you know has earned it outside of work? This can range from rescuing a deer on a frozen pond, rebuilding a park playground that was destroyed in a hurricane, or anything that showcases the values of hard work, sacrifice and integrity. THIS IS A PAID OPPORTUNITY! Busch Beer and the producers of “Dirty Jobs” will come to YOUR town this August and film YOU doing a real, honest day’s work to be featured in our new national ad campaign.
