Police Shut Down Girls’ Lemonade Stand

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.
They 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. We all now a permit it just another way of saying permission.
According to a Texas law, the sale of food that requires temperature control to prevent spoiling is illegal without a permit.
Their mother wrote that she was feeling defeated. “The police department was very nice to us and provided us with the correct paperwork to get a ‘lemonade selling permit,’” she says. “This is unreal! It’s just lemonade! I almost feel slapped in the face as a return for the effort my family puts into our community!”
Instead of pursuing the permit, the girls will set up a new stand this Saturday. Free lemonade, donations welcome.
Good for you girls!
