iHeartMedia is so excited to help McQuade Distributing celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Sam McQuade Sr. Budweiser Charity Softball Tournament happening this Friday, June 27th thru Sunday, June 29th!

There’s a ton of excitement & ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the softball tournament including the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales that will be making several appearances in the Bismarck/Mandan area!

If you think it’s easy to become one of the world-famous Clydesdales…think again! Clydesdales for the Budweiser hitch need to be at least three years old, stand approximately 18 hands (6 feet) at the shoulder, weigh an average of 2,000 pounds, be bay in color, have four white legs, and have a blaze of white on the face with a black mane and tail! They also have to have a gentle temperament as they meet millions of people every year!

Every traveling hitch also has a Dalmatian, since the dog was bred and trained to protect the horses and guard the wagon while the driver was inside, making a delivery!

If you would like to take the family to meet these majestic animals, here is the schedule for the Clydesdales visit to BisMan:
