The Rafters will celebrate the anniversary by welcoming Chauncey Leopardi, who played Michael \u201cSquints\u201d Palledorous as well as Shane Obedzinski, who played Tommy \u201cRepeat\u201d Timmons in the movie. Both Leopardi and Obedzinski will be available to meet with fans and sign autographs when the gates open at 6:05 on July 19th<\/sup>. All fans in attendance will receive a photo of both actors to use for autographs, courtesy of Solarus. The evening will also feature a soundtrack from the movie, classic highlights, and s\u2019mores specials at the concessions stand.<\/span><\/p>\n

Single game tickets for the 2018 season go on sale at 9am on Friday, April 20th<\/sup>.
