Periwinkle County is going on vacation. That's right--everybody at the same time. After a long winter, they are just tired of one another. They thought about taking turns, but the ones who had to wait until last would be resentful, and by the time they left, those who were back would be resentful. So they all go at the same time.
They don't worry about security, even though the sheriff and the police leave, too. They put notices in the newspaper and on Facebook that they are all going to be gone and that they are leaving all the doors unlocked. They add that they are posting sign-up sheets on the doors of all the houses and businesses. Anyone who signs up while they are gone will get all their Farmville credits when they return.
They know there is a Farmville competition between the town of Hope's Promise, 25 miles west, where Cratchit State U is located, and West Eastern, 30 miles the other way, where A&P U [Agricultural & Psychologial] is located. The town that wins gets a free performance by Circque du Agricola, plus 33 coins and an apricot tree. The Periwinklians figure there will be so many people from Hope's Promise and West Eastern in PC all the time, signing up and marking out the signatures of people from the other town, that there will be so many people watching all the houses and businesses no one could possibly get away with robbing or vandalizing.
