Carpini Cup tournament is the one chance all year that the 1300+ rec kids get to play in a tournament like our travel teams do. While the weather leading up to this was a mess which caused us to lose our food vendor and photographer, we were still able to have a lot of fun (how many tournaments have inflatables??)/competive environment for the children of Livingston.
