Testimonials

"As a part owner of PressBox, we have had an affiliation with Chris Hutchins and the Aloha Tournaments (which run Lax Splash, Summer Sizzle and other events) for going on 4 years. These tournaments which bring in over 80,000 kids and parents would not be possible without Baltimore County: Whether it is the cooperation with Governmental agencies, the number of fields, hotels and unlimited entertainment options, the County plays a huge part in the successful operations of Aloha Tournaments. Baltimore County is a great place to PLAY!"
