Chief‘s Message

Hej fellow Viking,

I hope you all had an amazing summer like I did.

I feel the employees and our many volunteers really came together and knocked it out of the park! We have such a talented team. Not only the House Committee but our Bar manager Julie Giaimo and Kitchen Manager Julianna Giaimo really pulled it all together. We have gone through so much change over the last two years, so thank you all!

We are excited to start planning our 100th year celebrations for 2025. We hope to make it memorable!

Watch the website, Facebook, and newsletters for more details.

Thank you for allowing me to be your Chief, it has been my honor.

Sunset Hill Cemetery Viking Lot 15

Viking Monument at Sunset Cemetery

In 1948 Ingjald Lodge 65 purchased Lot 15 in the Sunset Hill Cemetery containing 30 graves. Lot 15 is located on the lower end of the middle road. Seven graves have been used since they were purchased. The last grave used was in 1971. This means there are 23 graves still available. It has been 52 years since the last burial in Lot 15. Graves at the current price are $695 each. Ingjald Lodge voted unanimously in favor of selling 17 grave sites at $500 each to Viking members. The remaining 6 grave sites will be used to help Viking members in need. Money realized by the sale of these grave sites will be used to help one of our capital projects. e.g. New Roof on Lodge Contact Ingjald Chief Tera Darts or Al Johnson via Viking Office if interested.
