Ray Rice to Appear in Columbia April 11

Is Wegmans in Columbia becoming a new hub for celebrity appearances? Last week, it was announced celebrity chef Bobby Flay will be signing copies of his barbecue book.

Now this week, Wegmans announced the star running back of the Baltimore Ravens, Ray Rice, will appear at the grocery store on April 11.

Rice is scheduled to appear from 5 to 7 p.m. to host a conversation and question and answer session. The cost of the event is $100 per ticket to attend. All the funds go to one of two charities: The Ray Rice Charitable Foundation (which focuses on anti-bullying) or the Arc of Howard County (a local charity that helps people with developmental and intellectual disabilities).

According to information provided by Wegmans, Rice will be able to meet with each person and take a photo with him or her from 5:45 to 7 p.m.

In addition to that, two autographed footballs and two autographed jerseys will be raffled off. Tickets for the raffle are $25 each or $80 for four.

Wegmans will be catering the event with "tailgating favorites" before the event, according to the grocery store.

Only 100 tickets to the event will be sold, according to Wegmans. Tickets went on sale on April 1 and a spokesperson said on Tuesday that tickets were still available.
