Schwingen (Swiss Wrestling) is one of the unique sports that is very popular in Switzerland. The Aelpler Gruppe Swiss Club hosts an annual event in Newark to celebrate this tradition at the west coast of the United States.
The Aelpler Gruppe invited Mary, Monika, Jonathan, and Peter to contribute to this Swiss tradition by playing alphorn between rounds in the tournament. Fortunately, they played well enough that the organizers didn’t get the idea to turn the wooden instruments into sawdust for the rink 🙂
It was a great event and a nice opportunity to celebrate multiple Swiss traditions in a land far-away from their origins.
