Sherry Drake, left, formerly of New Waterford, and pal Tracey O'Connell, originally from Glace Bay, show their excitement as they wait to get inside as spectators for "The Price Is Right" in the spring of 2005. CONTRIBUTEDGreat Big Sea founder making peace with his past | SaltWireSYDNEY, N.S. — “Cheryl Drake … come on down. You’re the next contestant on ‘The Price is Right.’”
Drake holds on to a memory box in her home filled with photos from the trip, the contestant number she wore and other memorabilia from that appearance — including an autographed photo of Barker, who would have been in his 80s and years away from turning over the hosting reins to actor Drew Carey. So when the show’s announcer from that time, Rich Fields, bellowed out, “Cheryl Drake … come on down. You’re the next contestant on ‘The Price is Right,’” Drake said at first she didn’t believe it was her.
As for the show itself, Drake got as far as making two bids. But no matter: she said for her and O'Connell, it was all about the experience and getting to fulfil an item on her bucket list, especially as she, like many others, grew up watching the game show. Sandy Benoit said growing up in Ingonish, she would regularly tune in to watch plenty of the Bob Barker-hosted episodes.
