The Parade Committee is proud to announce the selection of Dan O'Mara as the 2008 Kansas City St. Patrick's Day Parade Grand Marshal. Dan has worked tirelessly for both the Parade Committee and Harvesters for many years. Many know Dan as Brogeen Malarkey, the Parade's leprechaun mascot. Dan retired the character last year, but he continues to be an invaluable asset to the Kansas City Irish community.
