BLYN — An enthusiastic, standing-room-only crowd gathered at the 7 Cedars Casino on Saturday, hoping for a shot to win it big.
But they weren’t there to test their luck at the poker tables or slot machines.
They came to play TV’s “Wheel of Fortune.”
About 500 fans from around the Pacific Northwest came to the casino’s event center to play in the road show that travels the country searching for the right people to play the game on national television.
“I’ve always dreamt of winning a big vacation,” since she started watching the show more than 20 years ago, said Sequim resident Mary Gorczewski, who had her turn on stage.
David Stratheran, “Wheel of Fortune” marketing manager, said the road show travels to more than 20 cities throughout the country every year in search of contestants.
This was the second time it had come to Blyn since the road show started in 2000.
