BREAKING: Budweiser Clydesdales Will Also Be Coming To West Conshohocken
The majestic horses aren't just stopping in Ambler - they're on their way to the Norristown area.

Stella Blu and Gypsy Saloon Owners Kim Strengari and Marianne Gere are helping to create one of the “most magical moments in West Conshohocken history,” according to a press release.
The two women have partnered with Anheuser-Busch and Budweiser to bring the coveted Clydesdale horses to West Conshohocken to kick off the community’s Annual Tree Lighting Service with a special parade that will start at approximately 3 p.m. on Thursday, December 10.
The majestic eight horses will arrive at approximately 3 p.m. and will be stationed on Front Street in front of the West Conshohocken Borough Hall, where they will be unloaded from their trailers and be hitched to their specially-decorated, holiday wagon. From there, the Clydesdales will parade through the West Conshohocken Borough, making stops at the local bars, including Stella Blu, Bella Tavola (Stella Blu’s new private dining and event location) and Gypsy Saloon, to deliver a signature case of Budweiser Beer.

During the festivities, the horses will make several stops along the parade route for photo opportunities for children and adults. Tents will also be set up in the surrounding area, with volunteers serving hot chocolate and snacks to attendees.
Following the parade, West Conshohocken’s Annual Tree Lighting Service will commence at 8 PM in front of the West Conshohocken Borough Hall featuring West Conshohocken Mayor Joseph G. Pignoli as well as city council members and other local dignitaries. During the ceremony, the Mayor will honor several West Conshohocken U.S. Vets and commend them for their service to their country.
