The Budweiser Clydesdales, the horse team made famous from the beverage company's holiday TV commercials, will be making at least two public stops in Coweta County this Christmas season.

The team will be at Ashley Park in Newnan Dec. 11 from 5-7 p.m., as part of the shopping center's free holiday events.

Senoia will also host a stop by the Clydesdales on Dec. 13 from 1 to 3 p.m. Senoia's Christmas Tour of Homes will be that same day, from 5 to 8 p.m. -- for information call Gail Downs at 770-599-9155 or Suzanne Helfman at 770-599-8182.

This is the third year the Clydesdales have visited Senoia.

"They're a huge draw for people, and especially at Christmas," Helfman said. "It draws so many people who just want a chance to look at these really magnificent creatures. To see them up close is just different," Helfman said.
