All roads won’t lead to Gray Center for about an hour today as the Old Home Days parade passes through the middle of town and across the turnpike bridge, causing traffic detours in and around the town. Event organizers said the parade is scheduled to take place rain or shine and spectators should make sure they arrive in town and park their cars well before the 10 a.m. starting time, as all major routes into the town, and the five-way intersection, will be blocked to traffic for about an hour. At the point that the parade passes the Gray Center fire barn, parade groups will be directed to make a double file to cross the bridge, and entering and exiting turnpike traffic will be held back until the parade has completely passed the exit.
