My voting experience was changed this time. We had to go to a different town. They decided my town was a bit too small to count their votes. We traveled 10 miles to the next town. Seymour. which was established 1871. Late as towns go around here. I hear it became a town because the railroad was built through the area.
My biggest enjoyment of voting was in their community center was a quilt on the wall.
I ask, if it would be allowed for me to go behind the booths to see the quilt closer...
One of the nice ladies, believed it would be okay. So I signed in to vote then proceeded forward.
But I was thinking now, Promise City actually had enclosed booths to cast your vote. Seymour had tables set up with red/White/blue cardboard tri folder in which to keep your voting secret. Then as you left with your ballot a machine grabbed your paper for official counting. Quickly!! Look out fingers.
Then I proceeded to go to the back wall and check out the lovely quilt.
Flying geese around the border and blocks were crazy patched with vintage black & white photos of original town buildings and homes. Some of the blocks even had a couple setting on their front porch. The drug store with the soda fountain stools was eye catching also.
Wish I could of got a Picture, but that, I believed would of been frowned upon. I may have to come back, when the voters are not lined up to get behind those cardboard folders!
