Strawberry Festival organizers say Stewart agreed to be the parade marshal back in February. They say Stewart will talk to the community at Buckhannon-Upshur High School after the parade. That event will start at 4:30 and will cost $2 to attend. Stewart has asked that proceeds from the event be donated to the Upshur County Special Olympics.

"We are really excited. He's probably the best known person in West Virginia right now. He's 1 and 0. He put the team together and won the Fiesta Bowl, so we're really excited about having him down to be the grand marshal of the parade and the Strawberry Festival," says Jim Marsh, event coordinator for the West Virginia Strawberry Festival.

This year's Strawberry Festival will be May 14th through the 18th. The parade will be Saturday, May 17th in downtown Buckhannon.
