of sign:
Return Day
This event draws thousands as winning and losing candidates join in
celebration on the Thursday following each general election.
Poor
traveling conditions and interest in the outcome of political contests may
have resulted in an extended stay when all elections
were
held here. Creation of voting districts in 1811 required the meeting of
"returns" for the county. Proclamation of results
continues
to highlight this festive occasion. Well-established by the mid-19th
century, Return Day is recognized as the only event
of
its kind in the nation.
