Chad Covell said he has been friends with former Pittsburgh Steeler's  Louis Lipps and RJ Bowers for years. He has asked them to come by his restaurant in Titusville this Sunday, June 25 from noon to 2 p.m. to meet up with area athletes and maybe sign some autographs.

Covell said he'd love to see kids from all the local school take advantage of meeting pro ball players. "The more local teams that can come... it's a great bonding time to help teams come together." Covell said.

The event at Fat Chads in downtown Titusville is free and open to the public. 
​
Louis Lipps played for the Steelers in a 108 games over eight years from 1984 to 1991 where he caught 358 passes  and scored 46 touchdowns (four of them running, three on punt returns). He also threw a touchdown pass. He was also the NFL Rookie of the year in 1981 with over 800 receiving yards and over 600 kick return yards. He is a two-time Pro-Bowler.

RJ Bowers at one time held the record for most rushing yards in a career with 7, 353 while playing at Grove City College. The West Middlesex grad also rushed for 93 touchdowns, 32 in his senior year. As an NFL player he was under utilized by the Steelers where he only ran the ball a dozen and a half times for 84 yards and one touchdown. in two seasons with the Browns he touched the ball only once but for a receiving touchdown.
