PR ASSIGNMENT

BUDWEISER CLYDESDALES AND NFL STAR BRADY QUINN SHOW UP AT CEDAR POINT AMUSEMENT PARK/RESORT Sandusky, OH/ June 12/ Cedar Point Amusement Park/Resort In an outstanding week full of events, Cedar Point Amusement Park’s world-class roller- coasters will be complemented by the famous Budweiser Clydesdale horses and by NFL star quarterback Brady Quinn. On June 12 at 2 p.m. the world-famed eight-horse team of Clydesdales will parade from the park’s midway to the Wicked Roller Coaster where they will be on display from 1:30 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. and from 2:30 p.m. until 3 p.m. The Clydesdales legendary story began when they were given as a present from August Busch Jr. to August Busch Sr. and Anheuser-Busch in 1933 to celebrate the end of Prohibition. Busch Jr. told his dad that he bought him a new car and when he took him outside he surprised him with a full team of horses. Now these magnificent horses are Budweiser’s brand mascots and make appearances all over the country in special events like the Super Bowl. The Clydesdales are known for their colossal size, measuring up to six feet at the neck and weighing up to 2,300 pounds. Their horseshoes alone are 20 inches and weight five pounds. The Clydesdales will be pulling a completely restored vintage beer wagon and a Dalmatian sits next to the driver as part of the tradition of companionship to the horses. On June 14, Cedar Point Park will have it’s very own special “Brady Quinn Day”. The Columbus native will hold a Q&A with fans at the Game Day Grill at noon and then will pose for pictures until 1:15 pm. Quinn started his remarkable football career by setting 36 school records for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He also received the Maxwell Award to College Football’s Player of the Year in 2006. He was a first round draft for the Cleveland Browns in 2007, where he currently plays as a QB.
