OSCAR MAYER AUDITIONING KIDS FOR ROLES IN TV COMMERCIALS

If so, your child can audition to be in one of the meat processor's TV commercials when the Oscar Mayer Weinermobile comes to town this weekend. Hotdoggers - the official Weinermobile drivers - will audition kids ages 3 to 12 (as of June 1) singing the ``Oscar Mayer Wiener Jingle'' or ``Bologna Song.''

To hear the songs, or for more information, call (800) OSCARKID.
