The Price is Right!

 Most of you have probably seen the show The Price is Right.  Our ladies group from church decided to plan a fun night with that theme. It was supposed to happen a few weeks ago, but we had one of those crazy winter storms we've been having and it had to be postponed.  Last Friday it finally happened.  

The night started with a testimony from a lady who titled her talk "Jesus paid the Price, so the Price is Right!" She was destined to be incarcerated for crimes she committed, was a fugitive living under another name for 12 years. However, after marrying and having kids, she became a Christian and knew she couldn't live with this secret.  She turned herself in and ended up being exonerated. 

After her talk, the game started.  Two guys from our church who are hilarious and great actors, played Bob Barker, and Johnny Olsen, who was the announcer.

Here's Bob Barker and Johnny Olsen.  Matt, who was playing Bob Barker had put on some self tanning lotion as Bob always had a deep tan. It got darker than he anticipated, so he was joking that he had been vacationing in Florida.  He was also wearing a classy white wig.

They started the game, and to my surprise, the first name called to play was mine.
There were 2 sets of 3 games.  They did the first set of 3, and then on the second set I won the initial game.  That prize was a table top humidifier.  Then I played another game where you had to guess the price of things and win tokens to play Tic Tac Toe and won a Cuisinart waffle maker.

Here's a few of the other games they did.

The alpine climbing game

The famous Plinko Board.

Then it was time to spin the wheel for the play offs.  I got 90, so I ended up with one other person doing the final game.  
Believe it or not, I won the final game as well
The prize was a bunch of Vera Bradley camp chairs, backpacks, a blanket and a weekend stay at a home on a lake.

Here's all the winnings.  What a fun night, with unexpected prizes to go home with!
In the end though, the testimony we heard really was the most important part of the night.  We are so thankful that Jesus paid the price for us and eternal life is what we are given.
