Clydesdales back to the Illinois State Fair," said John Skeffington,
owner of Skeff Distributing. "The Clydesdales are an enduring symbol
of Budweiser's commitment to quality and one ... of the world's most
recognized corporate symbols."2013 marks the 80th anniversary of
the Clydesdales as a symbol of Anheuser-Busch. The draft horses make
hundreds of appearances each year throughout the country.
"The Budweiser Clydesdales are always a fair favorite," said Amy

return so fairgoers can see them up close and personal."
