The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales, the symbol of quality and tradition for Anheuser-Busch since 1933, were front and center for special events at Dichello Distributors in conjunction with their “Welcome Home a Hero” Campaign. The “Gentle Giants,” as the Clydesdales are often referred to, participated in the celebration for military veterans and their families, followed by two days of photo opportunities for Dichello’s on- and off-premise accounts between May 1 and 4, 2014. The Clydesdales’ appearance in Orange is one of hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches.
