Sadie McCracken, an 8-year-old third-grader at Ridgway Elementary School, holds a sign supporting Ballot Issues 4A and 4B and yells at traffic driving by on Sherman Street on Oct. 22. About 50 people encouraged motorists to honk and waved signs favoring the measures that would create more funding for the Ridgway School District. The election is Nov. 2, and as of Wednesday morning, 841 ballots had been turned in. Mike Wiggins — Ouray County Plaindealer
