The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are coming to Downtown Rome on Friday, July 18. The appearance is part of a tour by Anheuser-Busch to honor service members, with a portion of proceeds from certain Budweiser products going to Folds of Honor. “They are going to be making several deliveries, and they will be on Broad Street from 3 until 5 p.m., said Kristi Kent with the Georgia’s Rome Office of Tourism. “That is just a fun photo moment. It’s a good opportunity to see something cool. The horses are beautiful and they have the cutest little Dalmatian. I have never seen a cuter Dalmatian. He just sits there, perched in the seat, and just kind of looks around, all prim and proper. It’s just the cutest thing in the world.” More details concerning the visit are expected to be released in the coming week.
