Kid Can't Sell Lemonade Without a License
August 13, 2010 • By Sarah Richardson
Last week at a local
arts fair in Oregon, a 7-year-old's lemonade stand was closed down by a county
inspector.
Julie Murphy and her mother
Maria Fife were selling lemonade at the fair when a county inspector
asked to see their restaurant license.
They were told that if they
did not stop selling lemonade they would be fined $500. They packed
up their stand as Julie left crying.
Jeff Cogen, chairman of Multnomah
County, says that health inspectors were just following the rule book
and apologized to Julie and her mother Marie.
Cogen went on to say that he does not want to be in the business of shutting down the iconic American kid thing-to-do-- a lemonade stand.
