In '76 I remember hearing about a presidential race on the radio (the one I had just recently learned didn't have tiny people living in it) and I thought it must be something like the Boston Marathon. I remember a big bonfire at the high school that was really warm even from accross the football field. I was on my fathers shoulders the night we went to see it. He was serving on the USS Edison back then, now that ship is a museum in New York.
