What else can they say

APPLETON, Wis. (AP) - July 21, 2011

That's the word from police in Appleton, Wisconsin, after shutting down a kids' lemonade stand.

Ten-year-old Lydia Coenen and her 9-year-old sister Vivian had planned to sell lemonade over the weekend.

They figured business would be good, as folks passed near their home going to a car show.

But a police officer told their girls their lemonade stand was illegal under a new city ordinance.

A local paper reports police have apologized to the family.

And Police Chief David Walsh says he'll make sure it doesn't happen again.
