Columbus Alphorn group performs at Swiss Day
The Alphorns are coming to Swiss Day! On Sunday, June 29, the Swiss Community Historical Society’s annual celebration of Swiss Day will feature the Columbus Alphorn Group, which will play the horns and talk about this unique Swiss instrument. The event will take place at Ebenezer Mennonite Church, 8905 Columbus Grove Road, 2 miles west of Bluffton.
At 12:30 p.m. everyone is welcome to join in the potluck meal. Bring something to share at this always-delicious meal of Swiss- and farm-oriented food. Drinks will be provided.
At 2 p.m. the program will start. In addition to the alphorn music, the Bluffton-Pandora Swiss Chorus will sing and there will be a presentation in words and pictures about proposed plans by the Swiss Community Historical Society.
Beginning at 3 p.m. the historic Schumacher Swiss Farmstead, 8350 Bixel Road (one mile north and one-half mile west of Ebenezer Church), will be open to visitors for the rest of the afternoon. Swiss Day attendees and all others are invited for refreshments, fellowship, and tours of the farmstead, which includes the house, summer kitchen, workshop, garden, and barn. Docents in period dress will be available to answer questions and show visitors around.
