Final plans are in the works for Saturday’s 2011 Founders Day Parade in Johns Creek.

The parade, which celebrates the founding of Johns Creek five years ago, will have 85 units, involve about 2,000 participants and about 10,000 spectators along the route on State Bridge Road.

Motorists should avoid State Bridge Road along the 1.4-mile route between Morton and Kimball Bridge roads from about 8 a.m. to noon.

The parade will be followed by “Santa Jam,” a community party at Johns Creek High School that features music, food, race cars, and other entertainment until 1 p.m.
