interesting, you know its amazing they still do that...but it goes to show you the Rebbe unfortunately has passed away.. for now at least;)...but his legacy lives on....evidently he's done a heck of alot for Judaism and world Jewry as a whole that they'd keep honoring his birthday.
I have to admit I've never been without Kosher food and jewish soul back-up in the many many years I've traveled around the world....you just can't knock that.

Just like Moshe Rabeinu's birthday on Zayin Adar was the cause of Haman's plot failing. Since a Tzadiks birthday has an eternal affect even after the Histalkus.
