Montco Ready For Majestic Budweiser Horses' Arrival

Gypsy Blu Owners Kim Strengari and Marianne Gere are helping to put the “spirit” back into the holiday this year as they partner with Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser to bring the Clydesdale horses to Ambler on Saturday, December 12 starting at 2 p.m., according to a press release.

The two women have worked with Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser, as well as the Ambler community, to bring the magical Clydesdale horses to Ambler to kick off the holiday parade and tree lighting ceremony, which will be held outside Gypsy Blu at approximately 5 p.m.

The majestic eight horses will arrive at approximately 2 p.m. and will be stationed at the Italian American Citizens Club of Ambler, which is located at 211 W. Butler Pike. They will be unloaded from their trailers and be hitched to their specially-decorated, holiday wagon and from there, the Clydesdales will parade down Butler Pike stopping to take photos with attendees.

During the festivities, the horses will stop at Gypsy Blu to deliver a signature case of Budweiser Beer.

Following the parade, a tree lighting ceremony will commence at approximately 5 p.m. on the front patio of Gypsy Blu where community attendees and guests are invited to gather to watch the event.

Live entertainment will start at 9 p.m.

Gypsy Blu and Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser have also teamed up to institute a designated driver program for the day. All designated drivers will receive a wrist band and will receive free O’Douls beer, soft drinks and hot chocolate all day.

Other public transportation will also be provided and access to Amber’s railroad schedules will be posted on key web sites as details are confirmed. Parking areas will also be made available.

Gypsy Blue is located on 34 E. Butler Pike in Ambler.
