Leominster, MA Chief of Police Bob Healey says he noticed a few comments posted on their Facebook page asking why young lemonade entrepreneurs aren’t “shut down and ordered to cease and desist all operations of sales” if they failed to secure a permit. So he answered with this definitive policy:
“Fine folks here of LemonTown, I, Chief Healey, tell you now that our department will never shut down a young child’s lemonade stand! My officers enjoy a cold cup of lemonade, particularly on these scorching and muggy days. While hydrating the community, the kids are also learning about fiscal responsibility, community service and well – just being a good kid having good old fashioned fun.”
“In fact, please share by private messaging or if you want to, pick up that old fashioned telephone and give us a call telling us where and when your stand will be operating,” he concluded. “If we’re able to, we’ll stop down to support you.”
Now that’s really sweet!
