MOUNT AIRY CASINO RESORT HOSTS ICONIC BUDWEISER CLYDESDALE HORSES FOR A FREE-TO-THE-PUBLIC EVENT
Mount Pocono, PA – May 24, 2016 – Mount Airy Casino Resort, Pennsylvania’s first AAA Four-Diamond casino resort, will host the world famous Budweiser Clydesdales to the property for an event that is free to the public, Saturday, June 18 from 1 pm to 3 pm. As part of the event, The Clydesdales will walk the perimeter of the Mount Airy Casino Resort property and then will be outside of the casino entrance for the public to interact with and photograph.
The Budweiser Clydesdales have been the symbol of Anheuser-Busch for more than 75 years. The Clydesdales were formally introduced in 1933 to celebrate the end of prohibition for beer. An eight-horse hitch of the special breed paraded in St. Louis, MO carrying the first case of post-Prohibition beer from the local Anheuser-Busch brewery. Today the Budweiser Clydesdales are just shy of royalty to the American brewery and require a certain size, color and disposition to be a part of the hitch. At about 6 feet tall and 2,000 pounds, you’ll find yourself speechless when standing next to this world-famous group of special breed of horses, amongst the picturesque Pocono setting.
“We’re thrilled to bring the legendary Clydesdales to Mount Airy Casino Resort for guests and the public to enjoy free of charge,” stated John Culetsu, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Mount Airy Casino Resort. “We are truly committed to providing the highest quality and diversity of experiences for our guests and the community — and having the Clydesdales on property promises to be an unforgettable experience for all,” he added.
