Sandusky, OH – The World-Famous Anheuser-Busch Clydesdale team will be at the Cedar Point Amusement Park and Resort in Sandusky Ohio for one day only, Friday June 12. Cleveland Browns Quarterback, Brady Quinn, will join the horse team that has delighted millions around the world as they parade through the park at 2 p.m. that day. Before and after the parade they will be on display at the famous Wicked Twister coaster ride from 1:30 to 2 p.m. and again from 2:30 till 3 p.m.
The first team of Clydesdale horses was given to August Busch Sr. by his son, August Busch Jr. to celebrate the end of prohibition and the legal sale of beer in St. Louis. Since then they have become symbols of American heritage itself and a full team of 8 horses will be pulling a painstakingly maintained vintage beer wagon, similar to the wagon first presented to the Senior Busch, throughout the day. These magnificent animals are six feet tall at the shoulder and weigh a staggering 1800 to 2300 pounds. Their tack and harness alone weighs 130 pounds, and to keep up with their size and levels of activity, one Clydesdale eats as much as 20 to 25 quarts of feed per day along with 50 to 60 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water.
Five teams of Clydesdale horses travel to just 300 cities a year in addition to being present at major sporting events like the Superbowl, so don’t miss a chance to see them for yourself in person at the Ceder Point Amusement Park in Sandusky, Ohio!
Anheuser-Busch produces two of the best selling international beers, Budweiser and Bud Light, and operates 12 company breweries throughout the United States.
