Welcome!

Welcome to the 100th annual Imperial Valley Swiss Club Schwingfest. This event is a celebration of Swiss heritage and tradition, and your participation is much appreciated. The first Imperial Valley Swiss Club Schwingfest was held 100 years ago in 1921, and it is noted as one of the longest standing traditions founded in the Imperial Valley. Thank you for supporting all of the schwingers and musicians that will be performing this weekend. Their efforts are greatedly appreciated, and we wish them luck.

Join us in our festivities by taking part in the schwinging (Swiss wrestling), games and the meals. There will be a delicious barbeque beef lunch beginning at noon, and a tri-tip dinner and dance beginning at 6:30 p.m. Music will be provided by the Imperial Valley Swiss band during the day and the Blaser-Faver Orchestra in the evening.

Our program book is made possible by the ads purchased by businesses and individuals. Please patronize these advertisers as their generous support is much appreciated. I would like to thank Margie Stacey for all of her hard work in coordinating this year's program book. I would also like to thank all of those members who helped sell ads.

As we introduce the 2021 Swiss Club Board, I would like to personally thank them for their time and dedication to ensure that the Swiss Club continues to thrive. The success of the Swiss Club is a group effort that not only includes the board but also its members and caretakers.

Respectfully,


Jeff Williams
Club President 2022
