YOUNGSVILLE, LA (February 8, 2025) – To commerorate Schilling Distributing’s 75th anniversary, the St Louis team of the Budweiser Clydesdales made special apprearances in Acadiana. Today, the Clydesdales were in Youngsville, beginning at Sugar Mill Pond.
The six Clydesdales were transported to Sugar Mill Pond in the three custom 18-wheelers, with two Clydesdales per 18-wheeler. After the wagon was mantled, the Clydesdales were brought out individually; each horse was attached to the bridal hitch.
The Clydesdales made several “special delivery” stops in Youngsville, with the first stop at The Tap Room, then went on for additional deliveries at Mandez’s Seafood Bar and Grill, Rotolo’s Pizzeria, Corner Bar, Rouses Markets, and El Paso Mexican Grill, before heading back to Sugar Mill Pond.
