The Clydesdales are coming to Fort Lauderdale

A friend just sent me this information about the Fort Lauderdale St. Patrick's Day Parade this year. The Budweiser Clydesdales will be featured in the Parade on March 9, 2013.

In addition to the Parade and all the festivities on the 9th, the Clydesdales will be out for a public viewing (tomorrow) March 6th between 10 am and 6 pm at Holiday Park. (1200 G. Harold Martin Dr at the corner of Sunrise Blvd and Federal Hwy).

The free event will include tours of the Ft. Lauderdale Police Mounted Unit stables, a petting zoo, and pony rides.

Big Toy and Truck Extravaganza in Fort Lauderdale

I just found out this is this weekend, thanks to some friends who happened to mention it! We go every year and I hope you can adjust your weekend plans to attend.

The city of Fort Lauderdale gather examples of everything from Fire Trucks, Bucket Trucks, Police Bomb Robot Thingies (that is definitely the technical name) and Police Horses all together at Holiday Park.

Kids get the chance to play games, sort recyclables, climb in and on all sorts of trucks and even go up in a Cherry Picker. (See I know some truck stuff). All Free!

My only complaint is that I wish they would do this event about 3 weeks later in the year because it usually brutally hot, but it is good enough that even the heat doesn't stop us!

Check out my pics from last year below!
