#Toledo

- March 12 -

Yes, you too could live in Toledo, Ohio. The city boasts not only one horse, but two horses (“Apples” and “Jeff”, respectively), taking it completely out of the realm of “one horse town” into the “two horse town” category. For three hours and fourteen minutes on April 12th, 1997, the town was a “three horse town” as Bob Whitmann drove his horse If You Can’t Beat Em Join Em from his farm in Springfield county, Ohio to his brothers stable in Rossford. He stopped on the way at a diner in Toledo and read a very interesting article on actor Edward Norton in George Magazine. For that reason, the third horse was within the town limits for three hours and fourteen minutes: fourteen minutes over the alloted time period allowed for a horse to pass through the city, allowing the city to - for fourteen minutes - become a “three horse town”. There is a parade held annually in Toldeo to commemorate this day.
