After a year off, the Classic celebrates its 30th year!

The 30th edition of the Kiva Classic tournament concluded on Sunday, Dec. 5, in Santa Fe.

About 85 entrants played doubles, singles and hardball singles, attended parties and generally had a great time.

All attendees were required to show proof of vaccination and were subjected to a rapid Covid test to keep everyone safe.
