Vikings Team Up with SCHEELS to Spread Holiday…

He was paired with a family that included a 16-year-old and 11-year-old twins, and the group bonded over a shared love of music.

“One of [the twins] started singing, and I’m like, ‘Whoa, you’re actually good good.’ So he started singing, and then the other one wanted to play piano,” Bynum said. “I was like, ‘I’ve got a second piano at my house.’ So I offered to give that to him. … And hopefully they can start playing music at a young age, like I wasn’t able to do.”

Bynum said he believes music is a great hobby for young people to explore and expand their creativity.

“That was the main motivation behind it, give a kid something to do besides just watching TV or doing stuff that, really, you’re not working towards in life,” Bynum said.

O’Neill and Jefferson were happy to join their families in exploring the SCHEELS store, which features a Ferris wheel, an animated John Randle figurine that talks and a Viktor the Viking made from LEGOs.
