Mother Goose Parade Grand Marshal

Veteran radio personality "Shotgun" Tom Kelly will be the grand marshal of the 67th annual Mother Goose Parade Sunday in El Cajon.

The parade will step off at 10 a.m. and run down East Main Street from Magnolia Avenue to Second Street.

Kelly, now the afternoon host of K-EARTH 101 FM in Los Angeles, is best known for his distinctive voice, beard and dark suit with a hat. Even though he's been on the Los Angeles airwaves for 16 years, he and his wife still spend their weekends at their home in Fletcher Hills, according to U-T San Diego.
