Budweiser Clydesdales Delight Zanesville

ZANESVILLE, OH – In celebration of 14 years of partnership with Folds of Honor, Budweiser and their iconic Clydesdales are embarking on a cross-country tour and made a special stop in Zanesville.

On July 18th, the Clydesdales are parading over the historic Y-Bridge in Zanesville, around 3:30 PM. Following the parade at the Secrest Auditorium, a check presentation to Folds of Honor will highlight the commitment to supporting scholarships for families of fallen or disabled U.S. service members and first responders. The funds presented today will support a local scholarship right here in the community.

“We are bringing in the Budweiser Clydesdales to celebrate Folds of Honor and military and first responder appreciation.” President of Matesich Distributing, Sarah Matesich said.

“Since 2007, we’ve been able to award over 52,000 scholarships. We would not be able to do that without our partnership with Anheuser-Busch, who to date has awarded Folds of Honor over $28 million to the tune of 5,000 scholarships throughout the country.” Folds of Honor Director of Strategic Partnerships, Jenn Stephens said.

The Clydesdales, each weighing around 2,000 pounds, have an impressive diet, consuming about 40 pounds of hay and ten pounds of grain a day. You can visit the gentle giants while they’re in town until July 23rd at the Muskingum County Fairgrounds, from 10 AM to 7 PM.

“The Clydesdales have been a part of Anheuser-Bushes history for the past 91 years. They show our tradition. They’re a staple for our company and I’m just really blessed to be able to work with them.” Clydesdale Handler, Megan Arnold said.

Consumers 21 years and older can also support the Folds of Honor mission by purchasing Budweiser products in and around Zanesville. Budweiser will donate a portion of proceeds from all patriotic packaging sold between Memorial Day and Labor Day to Folds of Honor.
