Youth Go’s Family Night Edition of The Price is Right at Riverside Park

Posted on August 29, 2024

Our August family night on Monday, August 19th marked the 20th time Timothy Chappa has put together a Price is Right event at Youth Go. It was an entertaining night filled with good food, good times, and good company. Volunteers from Appleton Kiwanis Club served food to over 140 members of the Youth Go family. Once their stomachs were full, 9 of those families heard former Youth Go employee, Josh Escher, call their names to “Come on Down!” The night began with the debut of the pricing game “Temptation”, and was followed by five more TPIR classics (Bonkers, Danger Price, Any Number, Vend-O-Price, and Plinko). Several youth put some miles on the Big Wheel during the two Showcase Showdowns, and one family managed to spin $1.00 during a spin-off! In the end, though, the Flenz family went home the big winners in the Showcase round. 4 out of 6 pricing games were won, and because of the $1.00 spin on the wheel it meant 5 families who didn’t get called to bidder’s row each took home a bonus prize. Blake and his mom, Kelly, set the standard for the staff prize guessing game, and received a $100 gift card. In total, over $2,000 in cash and prizes were given out, setting a new record for this event. Thanks to everyone who had a hand in making this night such a success, and to WFRV for highlighting the event for their Positively Wisconsin segment!
