I've always said that in my next life, I want to come back as a dog owned by me.

However, I have changed my mind insofar as what I wish for . . . . . in my next life I want to come back as a Clydesdale owned by Budweiser.

The newspaper this morning said 6,000 people. I remember going to Brownwood about a year ago on something called 'Bicentennial Day' which was to start at 11am, we got there about noon and drove through every parking lot and could not find a parking spot and left. Some were parking on the grass by 44A. Also, last year in March, the Florida Lottery event with the doo whop group 'The Flamingos' was a huge crowd. I actually put a 1 minute video of the band on YouTube.

Wow, 6000 people crammed into the square to see 4 horses? Go figure.

6000 people crammed into the square to see 8 horses. The horses went around the square twice, pausing for pictures.
It was worth the wait, now I can scratch something else off my bucket list.

How many horses you see depends on how many drinks you've had! And if your seeing a seemingly endless bunch of horses going by and waiting for them to end so you can proceed on your way, you're probably standing next to a merry-go-round. You can verify that you are if there's organ music playing.
