The Orioles' autograph policy for FanFest remains unchanged. It's designed to support youth charitable endeavors through OriolesREACH, as well as "reduce fan disappointment by shortening wait times," according to the press release. Children ages 4-14 will have a specially designated Kids Only player autograph station that's free of charge and will operate continuously throughout the day. All other autograph stations will require the advance purchase of autograph vouchers, available for purchase beginning at 10 a.m. on Jan. 18 exclusively at www.orioles.com/fanfest. In addition to autographs, other FanFest activities include question and answer forums with players, front office staff and media; clinics for children on a youth-sized baseball field; memorabilia dealers; a Spring Training in Sarasota exhibit; a tour of the Orioles clubhouse at Camden Yards; and the opportunity to apply for seasonal employment with the organization. Complimentary parking for FanFest is available in Lot B/C. For updated information about the event, fans should visit www.orioles.com/fanfest.
