Nothing like a triple infection to set you back. Sinus, ear and bronchitis. The medicines have a strange effect on me, as in they give me the strangest dreams, much like Garfield’s comic strip.

I wanted to mention the results of the October 11 fundraising event “The Price is Right,” for Marysville NorCal Services for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. 41 adults showed up with six or eight children. The children had their own fun activities to pursue while the adults played the game showcases. There were plenty of prizes to be won, and wow, was it funny with the characters in audience!

Following “The Price is Right” game model, names would be drawn from a bowl for up to three contestants to sit up front and tell their bids on an item presented by one of the four game hosts. The contestant of the winning bid would move on to the game itself, to play and win a prize.

First game was Hi-Lo in which the contestant had to guess if the numbers she got from the dices, were above or below the actual value of the prize. Second game was the Punch in which a prize would sit in one of the holes. The contestant could punch another hole to try and win something she/he thought was better than the one in the previous hole, until she/he got a losing ticket.

Third game was a card game in which the contestant had to guess if the next card was higher, lower, or the same as the previous card. He/she had to guess all five cards to win. Then they would move on to the Showcase with the Wheel of Fortune to try and get the highest number that was under $1 to win a prize. Intermission was a thirty minute of food, socializing, and visiting with the Sorenson VRS representative.

The next half consisted of a Plinko, in which the contestant would try to get the plastic ball to fall onto a prize. Next game was a golf game where the contestant had to try and match up the correct prices with five grocery items in order to play from a certain distance on the golf course. The night ended with a final Showcase and costume judging.

In the Children’s Category, a little werewolf boy on best costume. He had a head mask made out of paper mache and covered in brown faux fur, and little black gloves with black shiny nails glued on to the tips, with faux fur. Two runner ups was a boy dressed as a rock star and a little boy wearing a bat mask.

In the Adult Category, a young lady dressed up in full pirate ensemble, won best costume, with runner up Renassiance lady and a purple pixie.
