The Budweiser Clydesdales will be joining the 2025 Bi-Mart Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo July 30 through Aug. 3 to raise awareness for Folds of Honor, a nonprofit which provides scholarships for the spouses and children of disabled or dead service members and first responders.

There will be question-and-answer sessions with trainers, handlers and drivers, meet and greets with the horses and hitching demonstrations throughout the fair. The fairgrounds and local Anheuser-Busch distributor AB ONE will both donate to Folds of Honor.

The Clydesdales will escort Folds of Honor scholarship recipients into the rodeo arena during one of the evening events.
