The cast of History’s “Pawn Stars” reality television series will bring their pawn shop inspired Gold & Silver Road Show to Hoosier Park Racing & Casino Saturday, November 12, 2011.  Ticketholders will have the opportunity to have their treasures appraised and purchased during three separate shows in the Terrace Showroom.

“Pawn Stars” is the History Channel’s highest-rated series, averaging 8 million viewers an episode.  The reality series gives viewers a glimpse into the colorful world of the pawn business through the day-to-day operations of the Gold & Silver Pawn Shop located in Las Vegas, Nevada.  The patriarch, Richard, is joined by his son Rick, grandson Corey, and family friend Austin ‘Chumlee,’ in running the pawn business that was successfully adapted into one of television’s most watched programs in 2009.

“Our guests enjoyed the Gold & Silver Road Show so much that we are happy to bring the Pawn Stars back for another appearance at Hoosier Park.” said Jahnae Erpenbach, Hoosier Park’s vice president and general manager of gaming. “This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to meet these reality TV celebrities and get the best insight and appraisal of heirlooms, antiques and memorabilia.”
