ADVISORY...for Thursday (Dec. 30)

WHAT:         Catch a glimpse of the world-famous Budweiser
              Clydesdales and an adorable two-month-old Clydesdale
              foal as they "bare all" in preparation for judging day
              at the 111th annual Tournament of Roses Parade. Learn
              the beauty regimen of these "gentle giants" as the
              handlers bathe, shampoo, groom and even blow-dry each
              horse.

              The Budweiser Clydesdales are primping for their 47th
              consecutive appearance in the Rose Parade, pulling the
              City of St. Louis float, "A Family Tradition."

              Standards are high during the selection of the Budweiser
              Clydesdales' hitch. Horses must be at least 3 years of
              age, weigh between 1,800-2,300 pounds, be bay or brown
              in color, have four white "stockings" or hooves, a blaze
              of white on the face, as well as a black mane and tail.
              A gentle temperament is also very important as the
              horses meet millions of people each year.

WHO:          Karen Flanigan Busch Buhl and Kathleen Busch O'Kane,
              granddaughters of August A. Busch Jr., and producers of
              the City of St. Louis float.

WHEN:         Thursday, Dec. 30
              10 a.m. to 12 p.m.
