.:COME ON DOWN:.
At
the first of May we went down to Vegas to watch the Supercross race. While we
were there we thought we have to go see some shows. So I voiced the opinion of going to The Price
is Right. My brother went to it with some of his friends and said it was a
blast. So we got our tickets and headed to the show. Before you go into the
show if you would like a chance to be called on stage you have to go stand in
this line and pretty much say “hey I wanna be called up” and they ask you a few
questions and so on. So we sit down and wait for the show and our host so
happens to be Jerry Springer, which by the way was a awesome host! He was
hilarious!...The show gets started and they call the first round of contestants
down and everyone is just going crazy having a ball. So the next round comes
around and they call out a few names and then we all hear “JENNA DARRINGTON” me
and Drew look at each other and I am just beat red! So I get down there and
pick my little microphone box to bid on the item they have and it is a really
nice watch. I was the second person to bid on the item the 1st guy
bid 350.00 I was 250.00 and so one. After everyone was done bidding we hear
this “DING DING” and Jerry tells us that this means someone has the exact bid.
So they make us wait as we all look around and they yell the correct bid is
$250.00. I about passed out I was so nervous, excited SHOCKED!!! So I go on up
the stage and Jerry is asking me all of these question about where I live, what
I do, what my family does. Of course I say I am from Burley, ID and my family
farms and he has the whole audience give an applause for the farmers he said “if
it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t eat” thank you Jerry ;) So after that they open
up the doors and there is a Pool Table and a set of golf clubs and the game is Piggy
Bank. So as I am guessing my numbers 0-9 I get the pool table one first which
means I won it!! I just started jumping up and down and walk off stage because I
get nervous haha. After I walk off the producer walks up to me and says come
and meet with me after the show. The Vegas show is a little different than the
TV show I didn’t get to spin the wheel or do the showcase because they try and
let more people get an opportunity to be on stage and experience it. After the
show I went and met with the producer they wanted to try and cash me out on the
pool table and watch. Which they would have only gave me $500.00 and the pool
table is worth $1300.00 I don’t think so. So I cashed in on the watch because
it was ugly and I collected my $100.00 from getting the exact bid. They told me
it would take up to 9 months to receive the pool table. Well I think I got
lucky because my pool table came about 2 weeks ago! I am so bummed they didn’t
allow cameras in the theatre but I got some of my dad and Drew putting the pool
table together! By the way thanks mom and dad for letting me store it in your
house until I get one big enough J
