OVERTON, Texas — Two girls wanting to raise money to purchase a Father’s Day present had their lemonade stand shut down after police demanded to see a permit.
Andria and Zoey Green wanted to raise $105 to buy their dad a present, according to KLTV.
“We were trying to raise some money to take our dad to Splash Kingdom,” 8-year-old Andria told KTLV. Splash Kingdom is a water park in Canton, Texas.
The sisters were selling lemonade and kettle corn for about an hour when police showed up because they set up their stand near the curb on a residential street. A code enforcement officer told the girls’ mother they would need a permit to sell lemonade.
