Be a host for Four Days for a German Exchange Band!



We are looking for people to host visitors from one of
Blue Lake’s  International groups: Youth Orchestra Wadgassen

They arrive at 3 PM, Tuesday, July 23
They depart at 10 AM, Friday, July 26

In order to keep their traveling costs down, this is a “hostel” setup. Guests would need a clean, quiet place to sleep and would also need meals during their stay.  We are also asked to provide some access to area sights and possibly entertainment.  They will also have a performance, but the date and location is not finalized.

Can you help or know of somebody that could help?
