Ah, yes ... Fredonia is a pretty small berg. Know in the area for
the furniture store, Feagans of Fredonia.
I live in an even smaller town, just west of Paducah, and it's in a dry
county as well. In fact, I tend bar in a "bootleg joint" that operates
with a wink and a nod from the police, as long as we stay closed until
after the churches let out on Sunday, and shut down before Sunday
evening services begin.

I assume it's a hospital bracelet since they issued tickets for
drinks, rather than bracelets. They keep all the drinkers penned up in
a "beer garden" -- which is just a glorified term for what's generally
referred to as a "segregation unit" in the correctional system.
Paducah, KY is very much in Bible Belt. It's only been a couple of
years since they started allowing sales of alcohol on Sundays -- and
even then, it's limited to by-the-drink sales in restaurants with a
certain minimum seating capacity. And that wouldn't have happened if
the town hadn't made a big display of trying to attract an arts
community in order to facilitate a "lower-town renaissance" -- and the
arts community does like a sip of wine after Sunday brunch. ;-)
That's funny, because my mom's family is from Fredonia, KY, which is
still dry and Paducah was where they all went to go drinking.
