Clearly CHRISTMAS had come to the Cascade County Elections office.  To note, they even said that, &#8220;The Grinch did not steal our Christmas!&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"374\" data-src=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121727_result.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3555 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121727_result.webp 800w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121727_result-300x140.webp 300w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121727_result-768x359.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/374;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We had a particularly fun time taking these photos above.  As you can see the lighting was just right and it was a nice summers day.  We found the Christmas spirit at the Elections office as well.  The fun deal with most new phones as they seem comparable to most digital cameras these days.<br>During these shots we also gathered some shots from across the street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"642\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_1219381_result.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3550 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_1219381_result.webp 642w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_1219381_result-300x280.webp 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 642px) 100vw, 642px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 642px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 642\/600;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cascade County Courthouse<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular photo of the courthouse was nice this time of year.   No leaves from the trees blocking our view.  We then proceeded down the block a bit and caught a glimpse of the Treasurer&#8217;s office.   As you can see there is a rich history here in the aged but well kept up buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"374\" data-src=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121956_result.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3551 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121956_result.webp 800w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121956_result-300x140.webp 300w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_121956_result-768x359.webp 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/374;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequently we took a stroll to the courthouse and found the building directory.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"280\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_135444_result.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3553 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_135444_result.webp 280w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20231219_135444_result-140x300.webp 140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 280px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 280\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It wouldn&#8217;t be a hard wager to say this directory is probably from the 80&#8217;s?   We thought it was quite telling when the &#8220;Clerk and Recorder\/Treasurer&#8221; notes moved to 121 4th ST NO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And was our short walk downtown by the court house.   When you&#8217;re out exploring the courthouse area, don&#8217;t forget to explore the beauty and rich history our courthouse area has to offer.<br>Also don&#8217;t forget to stop in and say hi to our Commissioners.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"628\" height=\"508\" data-src=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-38.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3279 lazyload\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 628px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 628\/508;width:683px;height:auto\" data-srcset=\"http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-38.png 628w, http:\/\/1310kein.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/image-38-300x243.png 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 628px) 100vw, 628px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here at 13 KEIN News we love to take time out of our day to just explore Great Falls.
