I wandered down to the Italian festival, right on Courthouse Square, this evening for dinner and to get a photo of this plaque and bolt! It was a challenge because so many people were milling about. Probably no one noticed me leaning over the bushes and taking photos of the side of the courthouse wall; weirder things are seen here every day at lunchtime. The elevation according to my GPS was 780 ft.
