Vikings Host Special Olympic Athletes 5.20.09
Brandon & Bob Meet A.P.!
Queen.com was honored to chaperone a Special Olympian when the Vikings hosted 50 Special Olympics Minnesota athletes from across the state. The athletes joined Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson and many of his teammates for a fun Punt, Pass and Kick Clinic at Winter Park. Peterson has been a supporter of SOM since his rookie season of 2007. Plus, it was a great day for collecting autographs and talking with their favorite Vikings players. Coach Childress addressed the Special Olympians before they took the field to get them all “pumped-up”! Since 1973, Special Olympics Minnesota has been enhancing the human potential and quality of life for children and adults with intellectual disabilities by offering year-round sports training and competition.
VQueen.com salutes these special athletes and admires their “Because I Can” attitude!!

Interview with Brad Childress & Pat Williams
VQueen.com had the opportunity to visit the KFAN Pressbox Studio to watch PA & Dubay interview Brad Childress and Pat Williams. “Big Pat” is definitely that and is quite the funny man. He is fired-up for the season and gets after “T-Jack” every day! We had the pleasure of visiting with the coach who said that one thing he loves the most about coming to Minnesota is the passion that he feels from the fans. Oh, and by the way, “thanks” coach… … …he loved our VQueen Black Quilted Jacketand asked to order one for his wife for Mother’s Day. It was truly an honor to be up close and personal with Coach Childress and to get a feel for what he is like off the field. You’d be surprised!!
