It was a sea of green at Benedictine Military School Sunday as the long awaited announcement of who would be leading the St. Patrick's Day Parade and festivities was announced. 62-year-old Jimmy Ray was elected as the parade marshal.
Ray has been a member of the parade committee for 40 years and has been walking in the event since he was five-years-old.
Ray didn't have any other competition this year for the job and said it will be a new experience walking the route as "the top dog".
"I hope I bring a lot of smiles and I hope I bring a lot of families together because Savannah on St. Patrick's Day is a homecoming for a lot of people," said Ray.
Ray is a second generation parade marshal as his dad held the honor back in 1989.
