From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, February 18, Rays fans will get a chance to experience the Trop like never before with Rays Fan Fest.

This on-field event will feature appearances by some of the best Rays players, coaches, and television/radio broadcasters for autographs and pictures throughout the day.

Rays Fan Fest is FREE to attend, but a donation to the ALS Association is required for autographs.

Rays manager, Joe Maddon will also serve his famous "Thanksmas" meal to a limited number of fans.  This meal, which he's served at area homeless shelters over the past six years, includes homemade spaghetti, meatballs, sausage and pierogies.

Thanksmas meals will require a ticket purchase.  These tickets will also allow fans to be eligible for prizes like autographed memorabilia and more.  The Thanksmas lunch will take place from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. at the Batter's Eye restaurant.  Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the door.  To purchase advanced tickets, visit www.RaysBaseball.com.

In addition to autographs and the Thanksmas lunch, Rays Fan Fest will also feature youth stations with clinics by Rays coaches, "Reading With the Rays," kids running the bases, high-five stations with players, photos with  Raymond and DJ Kitty as well as a number of interactive baseball activities like batting and pitching cages, a Rays Yard Sale, and more.
