“A lot of the people we are picking up don’t own a car or a vehicle to get around and they’ll walk downtown because they live right downtown,” said Mayor Schember. “I give them each one of my pens as they get back into the car after they vote and they really seem to enjoy it and so do I.”
The rides wrapped up around 1:00 p.m.
