PBR Welcomes You to the Upper Midwest - Illinois Style

Fulton, Illinois knows how to welcome nearly famous bloggers into their world - and with class. Where else does one receive a public welcome on a highly visible PBR sign located on a well traveled road? While the PBR welcome sign can clearly be seen as one drives towards the city's huge windmill on the Mississippi River, perhaps its the more flashy Bud banner located just 90 degrees right of the PBR sign that draws the most attention. Know that.

Clydesdales Parade through Czech Village

The Budweiser Clydesdales return to Cedar Rapids, Iowa after nearly 30 years. This time the six horse team pulled the King of Beers wagon through Czech Village, across the Cedar River and finally stopping at the new restaurant, Capones. 

Hundreds of people lined the nearly 100 degree street to witness the brief parade. Hey, what else do we have to do in this hot and humid summer weather?

Bennie, an eight-month old Mountain something breed was the hit of the pre-parade. He made friends quickly and did not harass the horses.

At the end of the parade, a special clean-up vehicle made frequent stops to keep Czech Village tidy. Had the tavern owners along this street obtained permission to sell beer outside, the weather and the horses would have made the case an easy sell. Know that.
