WHAT A HEEL: Making Lemons Out Of Lemonade
Enterprising eight-year-old Daniela Earnest wanted to raise money for a family trip to Disneyland, so she did what generations of kids before her have when they needed to make a quick buck with low overhead: She opened a lemonade stand, and served up a 32-ounce cup of freshly squeezed lemonade for $2. Unfortunately for her, Tulare (CA) code enforcement officer Richard Garcia happened to be in the area and made her shutter the fledgling business on the grounds that it was “unsafe” and she needed a business license to operate, reports the Fresno Bee. A local radio station traded Daniela tickets to the amusement park in exchange for 30 cups of lemonade.
