The Lovefest Swing
February 14-15, 2009
Instead of spending time with significant others or lamenting single status, the Gustavus Forensics team spent Valentine’s Day in Eau Claire, Wisconsin for the 2009 Lovefest. Hosted jointly by the University of Wisconsin Eau Claire and by Ripon College, this year’s Lovefest boasted competition such as Bradley University, Minnesota State University Mankato, Illinois State University, University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, and more. Gusties were feeling the love with a third place finish on the first day and a first place finish the first day, taking second over all.
