The Law Explained

A classic 'Blue Law' designed to keep the Sabbath holy, a local ordinance once prevented the sale of ice cream and other decadent sweets on Sundays. At the time, sugary treats were considered an unnecessary indulgence that distracted parishioners from their religious duties. Thankfully for summer visitors, this law is completely ignored today.
