The Law Explained

Southington passed a strict ban on 'canned string' products specifically targeting the annual Apple Harvest Festival. The ordinance was created after teenagers repeatedly sprayed parade marchers, vendors, and police officers with the sticky neon substance, causing major cleanup headaches. Violating the Silly String ban can land a festival-goer a hefty fine.
