Bleeting of the Horns

After a few months delay, the Vikings are coming to town this morning for their Community Tour.

No ice storms and or lousy weather either like what we had last November when they originally had planned to come to town.

The kids at the Middle School (600 expected for the Assembly) are fired up and ready. Even if it's not football season, they are so ready for this visit.

Even big kids are excited and looking forward to the luncheon at SMSU.

It's been a fun adventure helping the community prepare for this event. Special thanks to the Steering Committee: Jeff Helms at SMSU, Doug Goodmund at the City, and Mary Kay Thomas our Middle School Principal.

Several others to be recognized too: Mayor Bob Byrnes for taking time from his busy schedule to serve as our official Host and Tour Guide; Jim and Tom Hey for helping with the bus; and Jeremy Gossen at Wells Fargo for his behind the scenes work as the "Team Gopher."

Sshhhh! While the Vikings aren't my favorite, after this visit, they'll certainly rise closer to the top!
