The festivities are well under way in the City of Berne for the annual celebration of Swiss Days.
Before the events even officially kicked off, a large crowd gathered to check out the food selections and take in the entertainment in the Main Tent, provided by Razz M’ Jazz Dance Studio in Decatur.
Ceremonies then got underway with a singing of the American national anthem, followed by the Swiss national anthem. An English translation of the song was read before the anthem was sung in German.
That opened the floor for Mayor Gregg Sprunger (pictured above) to hand out awards and officially begin the festival.
