Budweiser Clydesdales To Trot Their Way Into Billy Bob's With A Special Delivery

Country superstar Easton Corbin will catch a ride to perform at Billy Bob's Texas Saturday, February 2 on the famed Budweiser Clydesdale eight horse hitch.

The matching Budweiser Clydesdales with their beautiful white feather legs will be at Billy Bob's Saturday from 1 to 3 PM for fans to get up-close to these gentle giants and take photographs of the Clydesdales in front of the world's largest honky-tonk.

Each horse is a little over 18 hands high; that is about six feet at the base of the neck, and weigh in around 2,000 pounds each, pulling an authentic Freight Wagon as they did to deliver beer prior to motorized vehicles.

The first ceremonial Budweiser Hitch went to the White House in 1933 to deliver a case of beer to President Roosevelt, marking the end of Prohibition.

About Billy Bob's Texas:
In 1980, at the height of the Urban Cowboy craze, the idea for Billy Bob's Texas was born. Billy Bob Barnett and Spencer Taylor plotted what to do with a 100,000-square-foot department store that was closed and for sale. Barnett knew that the authenticity of the Stockyards and the size of the space would lend itself well to a nightclub. They hired a crew of 80 and set to work. Billy Bob was hesitant to make a commitment about when the club would open. He set the date for April 1, 1981. A fallback plan, if everything fell through, would be "April Fools!"

Originally, the idea was to capitalize on the popularity of local musician Jerry Max Lane by naming the club "Jerry Max's Texas," but when legal barriers of licensing that name began to surface, Billy Bob added his own namesake to the club and "Billy Bob's Texas" was born.
