Hally, I do the puzzle every year - and never have the Colemanballs, I just work it out! There are some obvious looking words appearing, and we got the useful advice about each row starting with a new word. Once I had enough to make a likely looking phrase, I googled that and immediately got to the relevant stuff. As the preamble says, the quotation is modified slightly.
PS It's from possibly the biggest event of 2023...
