Vikings legend and Hall of Famer Cris Carter was in the Twin Cities on Friday to support the Salvation Army. He spoke about an event coming up later this summer in Eagan.

184 volunteer rappelers will participate in an effort to raise needed funds by rappelling down the side of the Omni Viking Lakes Hotel on July 28 & 29, to meet a $600,000 goal in support of Salvation Army housing and homelessness programs. Rappelers can register for the event at DownForTheChallenge.com.

We spoke with Carter about the Salvation Army, the 1998 Vikings team he was on that fell short of the Super Bowl, and current WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison.
