While you were excited to see the Budweiser Clydesdales at the Kewaunee County Fair on Thursday, one of their handlers was just happy to be home.

Tisch Mills’ Andrew LaCrosse is part of the traveling party that takes the brewer’s iconic horses around the country for different events. Handling Clydesdales is nothing new for LaCrosse after helping his family raise them on their farm and exhibiting them not just at the Kewaunee County Fair but at other events as well. After graduating from Kewaunee High School and UW-River Falls, LaCrosse turned an internship caring for the Budweiser Clydesdales into a full-time job that keeps him on the road approximately 330 days a year. LaCrosse says he enjoys the job and the joy the horses bring to others.

There are still opportunities to catch LaCrosse in the area before he and the Budweiser Clydesdales hit the road to Minneapolis. The Budweiser Clydesdales will be at the Green Bay Rockers game Friday night before heading to De Pere to appear in the Pink Flamingo Softball Tournament.
