THE INFAMOUS ANHEUSER-BUSCH CLYDESDALES ARE VISITNG CEDAR POINT AMUSEMENT PARK AND RESORT FOR PARADE IN SANDUSKY OHIO.

 

The stars of the Anheuser-Busch Company are making an anticipated appearance in a parade that the Cedar Point amusement park is hosting. These majestic and docile animals will be pulling a turn of the century restored beer wagon for all to see. The parade will begin at two in the afternoon on Friday June 12.

 

Anheuser-Busch has a colorful history, which includes the Clydesdales and a long-standing family owned business. Originally August Busch junior gifted six horses to his father August Busch senior, to celebrate the end of Prohibition in 1933, but over the years they have become one of the most recognizable faces of the company. Millions upon millions have seen the unique team of extremely tall standing horses since their first appearance, and have made appearances in big events such as, the Super Bowl, and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as well as numerous other sporting events.

 

 

America is curious about the face of one of the most well-known beer companies around the world. The Clydesdales have been apart of the “Americana” persona since the end of Prohibition and help to make the company stand apart from the competition. These horses stand to be 6 feet tall at the shoulder and weight between 1800-2300 lbs. These horses consume daily, over 20 quarts of feed, 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water. The Clydesdales will be on display between the “Wicked Twister” rollercoaster, from 1:30-2:00 P.M. and 2:30-3:00 P.M. You don’t want to miss the opportunity to be apart of the Anheuser-Busch history as they parade through Cedar Point.
