cooperation with the City of Palm Springs and the Palm
Lynda Springs Carter Gay Softball League, announces the 27th Annual

(LGBT) community.
Registration and a public opening reception will take place
on Friday, February 9, 2018 from 7-10 pm at Hunter’s

Throughout the weekend, teams will compete on several
locations, including Demuth Park (4365 E. Mesquite Ave,

City. Games will start at 8 a.m. both days with finals
in all divisions played at Big League Dreams. All games
are free to the public. Competition is open to a maximum of
80 teams in various divisions of play, and the tournament
schedule will be posted at pswinterclassic.com.
“This is a fun event for players and spectators, and the fact
that it benefits AAP- Food Samaritans makes it that much
more rewarding for us,” says Vicki Oltean, Tournament
Director. “We hope the public comes out to the opening
reception at Hunter’s on Friday night to meet the athletes,
buy souvenir shirts and support this 26-year tradition of
softball in the desert.”
