Rafters Announce 2018 Game Day Contests

The Wisconsin Rapids Rafters are proud to announce the exciting Game Day Contests that will be happening at Witter Field for the 2018 season. Fans of all ages are encouraged to participate in these unique opportunities to enjoy Rafters games.

New for the 2018 season is the Sears Hometown Store Home Run Inning. If a Rafters player hits a home run in the 5^th inning at any Rafters home game, one lucky fan will be going home with a gift card from Sears Hometown Store. The gift card will start at $10 and the pot will increase by $10 each game the Rafters don’t hit a home run in the 5^th inning. Visit Sears Hometown Store at 910 Huntington Avenue in Wisconsin Rapids to sign up! Fans do not need to be in attendance to win.

Bev’s Floral & Gifts in Stevens Point is once again sponsoring the “Sweetheart of the Game” for the 2018 season. During 31 home games in 2018, one lucky fan will have the opportunity to surprise someone special with a bouquet of flowers. In between one inning during the game, their “sweetheart” will be presented with a dozen roses by Rafters mascot, Rosco P. Rafter, all courtesy of Bev’s Floral & Gifts. This promotion will take place every home game (excluding Sundays). Please e-mail emily@raftersbaseball.com to request a date for your sweetheart to be the recipient of the Bev’s Floral Sweetheart of the Game roses.

The Cellcom Teams of Tomorrow will once again return for the 2018 season. Prior to 18 Rafters home games during the 2018 season, one area little league team will be presented on the field with the Rafters as the starting lineups are introduced. In addition to meeting the Rafters team, the Little League team will also receive a Rafters hat, all courtesy of Cellcom.

During every home game this season, E-Con Electric will be the presenting sponsor of the “Best Seats in the House” at the ballpark. Each winner of the Best Seats in the House will win two all-you-can-eat and drink tickets for a game and the opportunity to enjoy Rafters baseball from a comfortable seat on the best seats deck behind home plate, all courtesy of E-Con Electric.

On every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday home game during the 2018 season, make sure to watch for the “Bowlmor Lanes Baseline Bowling” on-field promotion. All fans 13 and under are eligible to sign up for the weekly drawing at Bowlmor Lanes in Wisconsin Rapids for a chance to win two FREE tickets to a Rafters game as well as an opportunity to participate in an on-field promotion during the game. All fans 13 and under can submit their name in the “register to win” sign up box at Bowlmor Lanes, located at 3141 8th Street S. All winners will be contacted by a member of the Rafters staff to claim their tickets at the Will Call booth for a specified game with further instructions.

Fans can cheer for a lot of runs to be scored by the Rafters during the 2018 thanks to the return of the Misty’s Menu “11 Runs For Pie” promotion. If the Rafters score 11 or more runs in any Home game during the 2018 regular season, all fans in attendance will receive one (1) FREE slice of pie at Misty’s Menu with the purchase of an entree and beverage. The coupon distributed after each qualifying game must be presented at the time of the purchase in order to receive the free slice of pie.

If the Rafters score five runs in any home game only during the 2018 regular season, Checkers will run a special of five (5) All-American Cheeseburgers for $5.00. The offer will run from the end of the game until midnight the following day. Fans must present their ticket stub in order to receive the offer.
