Sisters who set up a lemonade stand to fund a Father’s Day gift on Monday were shut down by the police due to a lack of permit.
Andria Green, 8, and her sister Zoey, 7, set up the lemonade stand to raise the $105 they needed for tickets to the Texas waterpark Splash Kingdom. They were selling lemonade for 50 cents and kettle corn for one dollar on their street in the town of Overton, but about an hour after opening, police showed up and told the girls they needed a permit to sell the lemonade. Police agreed to waive the fee of the permit, which normally would cost $150. “The officer told them they had to go to city hall to get a permit,” Overton Police Chief Clyde Carter tells Yahoo Parenting. “Then the city told them they had to check with the health department, which they didn’t do.”
Yes, it's happening all over, usually the Health Department. Here the Health Department has an employee or two that get sent out occasionally just to enforce the no lemonade rule.
They almost shut the Amish down a few years ago by requiring separate recipes and approvals for their jams and jellies. If they had a 4 oz. and an 8 oz. jar of, say, strawberry jam there had to be two separate recipes submitted and two separate inspections.
Those girls could have poisoned someone.
I'm sure the lemonade had to be maintained at a certain temperature.
Were they wearing disposable gloves ?
Did they sanitize their area after each customer ?
Such are the stupid laws we have placed on ourselves in order to "protect us".
I have heard of this happening before. So silly. Yes someone in the neighborhood must of called about it, which is even more sad. Least they were waiving the fee.

They've also gone after roadside farm stands.
I'd trust the jam's quality from the Amish or any other farmer more than what was bought in the stores. Same with eggs and vegetables.
"We're from the government and we're here to help you"!!!
I hear so much about people who don't follow the rules as being self entitled blah blah blah on CD to be to bothered by this. If we judge them by CD standards they amoral, evil, self entitled, Obama loving, conservative thugs.

Yes, a neighborhood busybody is most likely the culprit here. That essentially requires someone to act on it because I bet the cops would look the other way.
Regardless, they found a way around it. The lemonade is now "free," with tips optional.
