Yes, I have somebody that's directing the Barberton parade.

00:04

They said they will be shutting down Wooster Road at 10 o'clock.

00:12

Okay, so now they're going to close down Wooster Road? Wooster Road was supposed to remain open.

00:20

I'm doing the west.

00:21

I'm doing the west.

00:22

I had the guy come up to me.

00:26

He said they were shut down this part going out towards JNR.

00:34

I copy. I'll head back out there because I had information that Tusc was going to be closed down for the parade route, not Wooster Road.

00:43

I'll find out, make an altercation to the detour if necessary.

00:49

I'll find. Figure out what's going on.

00:52

Copy.

00:55

Yeah, for I rolled up Wooster earlier.

00:57

They do got the, you know, the roadblock signs set on the curbs and like they're gonna be ready to shut it down sometime today.

01:05

Copy. Asked all those too.

01:07

I wasn't sure what was going on because all the signs for the parade route are on other streets, 2nd, Tuss, and 6th, but nothing on Wooster Road.

01:18

But

01:19

I'll get it figured out.
