They had them in Evansville, In. for their Christmas Parade. The whole thing was rained out. People could still go see the horses though. (That's what they get for having a Christmas Parade before Thanksgiving.)

Insiders are saying Clydesdale are staying but as with what has been happening less than before.

Busch, the maker of bud was purchased by a Brazilian corporation several years ago. They are looking at every cost center and one of the first questions they asked was "do we need the Clydesdales" they changed several things about how the teams are managed, now distributors have to pay to get them to come. I'm sure they will give up the horses completely in the future.

Another media "Faux Pas'. Clydes aren't going anywhere for awhile.

Have you seen the new Clydesdale commercial with the young horses throwing snowballs at the older ones? Then the older one goes and bumps the tree making all the snow fall on the youngsters. It's really cute!
