HASTINGS — The Hastings Parks and Recreation Department is recreating the fun of a long-standing, popular game show on Thursday, Jan. 29.
The Right Price Night Out Edition! for ages 21 and older will be 6:30-8:30 p.m., Jan. 29 at the Hastings City Auditorium, 400 N. Hastings Ave.
“ ‘The Price is Right’ as a television show engages its audience with fun, challenging games that are exciting for contestants as well as spectators,” Recreation Superintendent Steve Farrens said. “Our twist on this event keeps that structure while also focusing and expanding on the recreation aspect of the experience.”
For the second year, the Hastings Parks and Recreation Department has added additional elements inspired by a variety of shows, including its own take on a golfer’s challenge. Additionally, the game will include original activities and games created by Farrens that pay homage to the television show.
The big change between the show and the Parks and Recreation Department’s event is the amount of potential contestants.
On the show, four contestants begin on Bidder’s Row and then one person is replaced each round as another is called up to the stage.
In the Parks and Recreation Department’s version, four new contestants are brought up to participate each round, and two of the four will appear in a stage game. Out of the 100+ spots, 32 people will have the opportunity to play. Additionally, there is a planned raffle following the event where even non-participants will have a chance to win.
The Right Price provides an opportunity to highlight local businesses.
The Adams County Visitors Bureau is the title sponsor. As part of the sponsorship, the ACVB has provided funds to purchase prizes from local businesses.
Additionally, Hastings Parks and Rec has procured prizes and sponsorships from businesses such as Nelson Furniture, Pastime Lanes, and Allo.
Prize donations and sponsorships are still needed and will be accepted until Jan. 23.
While there are no brand-new cars, there is a lot of value for the $10 admission. Registration can be done at this link .
