The people in Savannah, Georgia, will not let the economic recession spoil their fun this March 17th. The internationally famous Savannah Saint Patrick’s Day Parade will go on as usual.

Each year thousands of people from all over the world come to the Georgia city to be Irish for a day on Saint Patrick’s Day. This year, the economy is in the dumps and the parade falls in the middle of the week. While some call it a double whammy, those who are planning the festivities remain optimistic that this Saint Patrick’s Day will still bring in the green.

John Forbes, the parade committee’s general chairman, said: “We really didn’t now how the economic problems were going to effect the parade and it did effect us to a degree,” he said. “We were worried, but it’s Saint Patrick’s Day in Savannah and everyone wants to be a part of it.”
