The Circle in Georgetown is all decked out for Return Day festivities.
The 102nd Sussex County Return Day celebration is underway in Georgetown - the county seat. Return Day is a biennial parade and festival held the Thursday after Election Day where the winners and losers of statewide and Sussex County elections gather to set partisanship aside and “bury the hatchet.”
