Vikings Pavilion > Building Progress
Project Complete! - A curtain system was installed early in 2003. This
effectively completed the Lester portion of the project. The Vikings will be adding an
entertainment and grilling station (a canopy on the western side near the back storage room)
some lighting and sound system. Lester was proud to be a part of this project and the company
looks forward to continuing its sponsor-relationship with the team in the years ahead!

used on the Vikings Pavilion. Curtains will be used in certain inclement weather
conditions or when a level of privacy is desired.

The pavilion is ready to be used with the community, the press, for
clinics and any number of other events the Vikings have in store!

January 7, 2003 -- It's the New Year and it's 54 degrees today! Unbelievable mid-winter
weather for finishing up the building. Today marked the start of testing curtain concepts by
the team. While curtain options are being considered, the purple eave trim (below the gold) was
temporarily taken off after an inspection found some minor but irritating dings in the trim --
originating from Lester's supplier's factory. The new trim will be applied before the end of
this week...watch for updated photos as it really finishes off the structure. If this weather
keeps up, the facility just may come in use yet this winter!

December 2, 2002 -- Lots of progress has been made as we close in on the final days of
work. The weather has really cooperated with highs in the 30s and even some 40s and no
precipitation. As a result, construction activity will be ending any day now as the team and
Lester near the designated ribbon-cutting ceremony. Today was a big day with the storage room
floor being poured and the roof started.

It was an unusually cold day at the appropriately-named Winter Park delivery site! Basic site prep activities included
plotting building on site, marking column placements, unloading building material in order of job flow and confirming final
details with Vikings officials.
