2. The 200th was a big deal in 1976.

I do not think the 250th will be on the same magnitude, regardless of the political climate.

Society has changed a great deal in the past fifty years. Also, a 250-year mark is not as interesting as a centennial mark with regard to any anniversary. I think any hype next year is going to be laughed off. Companies will realize that there will be no return from investing in such hype.
