'Sound the North Tour' Coming to a City Near You

MINNEAPOLIS — As the Vikings prepare to take the field at U.S. Bank Stadium for the 2016 season, the original Gjallarhorn is making its rounds through the North. The “Sound the North” tour kicked off on Aug. 6 at training camp and will make its final stop in Bemidji, Minnesota, on Sept. 15, just prior to the Vikings regular-season home opener against Green Bay on Sept. 18. The tour will make 23 total stops, where Vikings fans will have the opportunity to view the iconic instrument that’s been a significant part of team history while helping to usher in the next Vikings era. At select locations, fans can also meet Viktor, Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders or Vikings alumni. Monterae Carter, a Vikings marketing intern, is accompanying the Gjallarhorn on its journey that includes statewide stops in Duluth, Minneapolis and Red Wing as well as two stops in South Dakota. “Fans have received us with such excitement at each tour stop,” Carter said. “We have fun props for fans to use in their photos in front of the Gjallarhorn, and they get the entire family involved. A lot of people can’t believe that the Vikings are in their town. As soon as the truck rolls in, we draw a crowd.” Fans are encouraged to take photos and tag them on social media using #SoundTheNorth. The Gjallarhorn’s next scheduled stop is at Bunny’s Bar and Grill (St. Louis Park) Thursday evening.
