ONLINE VIDEO CLIPS
Our webmaster has a bad habit of hanging out on the Internet
(to avoid doing chores) and she has come across some really fun
entertaining and educational video clips that she thought you might
enjoy! If you find something good on the web - email our webmaster
and we'll put the link on for our membership's enjoyment. If you are
enjoying the luxury of highspeed, all clips will play easily. If not, you'll
have to be patient to allow them to load - these are all large files.
(if dialup connections reload the clip, sometimes it plays better second time round)
AND REMEMBER - KEEP YOUR SOUND ON!
(hopefully soon, all of Bancroft will be out of the dark ages of dialup .....)

ORIGINAL BUDWEISER COMMERICAL - STREAKER - BUDS AND DALMATION
This one is a little sad - it commemorates 9-11 - only aired by Budweiser once
after September 11 so as not to profit from the disaster. COMMEMORATIVE
JUST A NOTE! - A BIT ABOUT BUDS - Owning about 250 horses, Anheuser-Busch is home of the largest
Clydesdale herd in the world. The first team of Budweiser Clydesdales was a gift given to August A. Busch Sr.
and Anheuser-Busch to celebrate the repeal of Prohibition on April 7, 1933. That same day, the herd thundered down
Pestalozzi Street in St. Louis carrying the first case of post-Prohibition beer from the St. Louis Brewery.
About 40 foals are born each year at the company's two breeding locations in St. Louis and Menifee,
Calif. At birth, a Clydesdale weighs about 150 pounds, growing to a weight of 2,000 to 3,000 pounds. A Clydesdale
consumes 50-60 pounds of hay, 20-25 quarts of feed and up to 30 gallons of water daily.
