Strangely mine was Oklahoma's repeal of Prohibition in 1959, which I recall only because my parents voted on opposite sides, my father wet and my mother dry. Neither drank alcohol at the time.
I don’t remember that. We left the state in the late summer of ‘59 and lived in Albuquerque for a year (my 1st grade year) when my mom remarried. I bet that election was in November.
There was one county in eastern NM, Roosevelt I believe, that was dry until the 70s!
