YORKTOWN, NY — Yorktown resident Elizabeth Flannery has been named Grand Marshall for the 44th Northern-Westchester Putnam St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The committee had its annual Grand Marshall Installation Dinner Friday at the Centennial Golf Club in Carmel.

"Liz has a love of, and passion for, Irish history, music and traditions. Liz is an active member of the Irish American Social Club and has marched with the Club in countless St. Patrick’s Day parades in Mahopac, New York City and Mt. Kisco," committee members said in the announcement. "Liz has marched in these parades with not only her own children, but with her grandchildren as well. Liz is looking forward to marching down Route 6 with her family on parade day."

The registration deadline to march in the parade is Feb. 28.

The parade will take place March 8 whether it's raining or sunny. It kicks off at Mount Hope Road and goes east on Route 6, ending at the Lake Plaza Shopping Center. Step-off time is 2 p.m.

Parade goers are invited to join the committee before the parade for the Pledge of Allegiance at the Mahopac Volunteer Fire Department 911 Memorial, by the firehouse at the corner of Route 6 and Croton Falls Road, at 1:30 p.m.
