Haven's Candies as Loyal Provincialists--Or Not

Haven's County Road factory has evidently been very busy preparing for tomorrow's celebrations of the 195th anniversary of the incorporation of Westbrook:

[T]he workers dipped strawberries all night,
starting at midnight wrapping it up around 8 a.m., dipping about half of the
estimated 35,000 strawberries they will sell today and tomorrow.

Just imagine how many strawberries they'll go through when we celebrate our bicentennial in five years. Wait, what's that? There's some other to reason to celebrate tomorrow? Oh.
