The Game Show Appreciation Society gives students and their moms a chance to win prizes and play a classic game show Saturday.
The society is hosting its fifth annual The Price is Right at 6:30 in Baker Center Ballroom.
We are giving away a lot of cool prizes this year
including a donut maker a 19-inch plasma TV a blue ray player
a bike and a book called 400 ways that Chuck Norris is Awesome
said Alex Behe, a senior studying management information systems and computer technician for the club.
Contestants will be selected during an interview process after tickets are purchased.
You go through an interview process
very much like the actual show. We did try doing a lottery drawing a couple times but decided that we didn't get the right contestant energy
Behe said.
Excitement is very important to a successful show, Behe said.
We want people who are very enthusiastic about being on the show. We want people to run up and basically tackle our host
he said.
The Game Show Appreciation Society was founded six years ago, with three members. Dan Balmert, president, said the club now includes about 19 people.
It is a really low pressure club. You just show up and have fun most of the year except for the couple of weeks around The Price is Right time. So it was just a nice way to unwind each week
he said.
Some proceeds from the event will be donated to Relay For Life, and event fundraising chair Meghan Ventura said besides the good cause it is just away for students to experience The Price is Right without having to drive to California.
We play the same games
we even have the same music cues
pretty much the same everything
