AlphornsSF @ Schwingfest in Newark
The Aelpler Gruppe Swiss Club celebrated its 100-year anniversary and held its traditional Schwingfest (Swiss Wrestling Festival) at the Swiss Park in Newark on the weekend of September 13/14.
Peter, Monika, Jonathan, and Stephen entertained the audience by playing Alphorn between the wrestling rounds and at lunch. The event and AlphornsSF even made it into the Swiss and US News.
Our congratulations to the Aelpler Gruppe to their anniversary and to Damian Ott for winning the competition.
