In that same year, civic leaders in Bostonia planned to name a local observation as "Grape Day" which led some in neighboring Escondido to complain that their city already had an event under the same name. They were mollified when Bostonians said they would call their event "Home Products Day" instead.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/568088290/?terms=Bostonia&match=1 Percy Evans, editorial, ''Daily Times-Advocate,'' Escondido, February 22, 1928, image 2]</ref><ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/image/568089490/?terms=Bostonia&match=1 "Bostonia is O.K. on Grape Day," ''Times-Advocate,'' April 2, 1928, image 1]</ref>
