That historical observance is known as Return Day. In 1792, the first Return Day was held when State law required all votes to be cast at the County Seat. On Election Day, voters came to town and returned two days later to hear the results. The returns always create a festive day and a cause for winners to celebrate. Thus, Return Day became a tradition. Election counting procedures may be more advanced, but Sussex Countians are traditional folks and still return to Georgetown every two years, two days after voting to learn results and celebrate. The Day has significance throughout the state with citizens and visitors enjoying the day in Georgetown with friends, politicians, music, arts, parades and good food. Famous fried oyster sandwiches are always onthe menu for this day and for the annual Georgetown Oyster Feast.
