Minden, Louisiana - 300

http://www.shreveporttimes.com/article/20090416/NEWS01/904160318/1002/NEWS

In Minden, about 300 people pitched tea bags into a large pot of water sitting on the steps of the Webster Courthouse, symbolizing the tea party in 1773 during which people dumped tea into the Boston harbor in protest of British taxation.

I’m so glad you posted Minden! My husband is from Minden. It’s such a cute little town, with their “brick” Main Street!!
