The foreign students and their hosts toured Monroe and the Alpine Curling Club during the weekend. After watching and cheering at a Cheesemaker basketball game, the students went to the post game dance, to end the festivities, a pot luck lunch was held in the M-Room before the foreign students returned to their Wisconsin host families.
