Minnesota Vikings 2002 Arctic Blast Information

Please join us at North America's largest participant snowmobile rally on
February 7-9, 2002 in the Lake Mille Lacs Area. It's the Super Bowl of
snowmobiling, as coined by Minnesota Snowmobiling.

Ride the well-groomed trails with 30 current and former Viking players, and
Viking coaches and cheerleaders. With thousands of other snowmobile
enthusiasts, we'll be riding Arctic Cat sleds to Blastpoints in Garrison,
Isle, Onamia, and Malmo. This event raises substantial dollars for upper
Midwest children through the Viking Children's Fund. It also supports
several environmental organizations in the Lake Mille Lacs Area.

The ride will start from your choice of seven Blastpoints. With your
registration, you will receive a prize ticket when you check into a minimum
of three Blastpoints. The prize ticket makes you eligible for the thousands
of dollars in prizes to be given out at the Prize Party held early Saturday
evening at the G.C. Mille Lacs Convention Center. We will have room for
everyone.

A Minnesota Vikings Arctic Blast embroidered knit cap will be given to the
first 700 pre-registrations. They must be received before February 1, 2002.
You also may register the day of the event. Pre-registrations are eligible
to win Vikings' season tickets for 2002. Sign up early and don't miss out
on the action!
