LAPORTE â Olivia Penix, of Hanna, admits her obsession with the Budweiser Clydesdales.
Penix has seen them twice, including at the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis, Missouri, and so it was only natural that she would travel to the LaPorte County Fair on Saturday to see them once again. I had to come for the Clydesdales, Penix said, snapping photo after photo on her cellphone.
The eight Budweiser Clydesdales, hitched to the famous red, white and gold beer wagon, were the hit of the opening day of the state s oldest county fair, according to fair officials and comments from fairgoers. They are gorgeous. This is my first time seeing them and I just had to come and see them. I have horses at home so this is more adoration for them than anything, Valparaiso resident Anita Schumacher said.

Danbury Concert Chorus Virtual Messiah Concert, December 20 Written by Danbury Music Centre
The Danbury Concert Chorus is presenting its first virtual Messiah concert on Sunday, December 20 at 3 pm when it will be released on the Danbury Music Centre’s Facebook page and website.
During normal times the Danbury Concert Chorus presents Handel’s Messiah at a local church, but the pandemic has sidelined choral and choir singing owing to the high risk of spreading infection. Since September, the chorus has been rehearsing, virtually, with its director, Dr. Jason Thoms. Dr. Thoms recently re-located to Bismarck, North Dakota where he now teaches, but distance is no barrier to singing together, while apart. Chorus members and their friends around the country have been rehearsing and preparing videos since September. The concert will include professional soloists from New York and Bismarck and the Danbury Symphony Chamber Orchestra.
