On Tuesday, children from the Early Childhood Center on campus were out on the Lory Student Center Plaza selling lemonade to help raise money for a local agency.
But, an official from the event planning office told them since they had not reserved a space on the plaza or had the lemonade approved by the environmental health department they would have to leave.
The official also said the children could not accept donations at the stand.
"It was just a misunderstanding on my part," the coordinator of the fundraiser Aubrie Pyle said. "I didn't realize that resevations needed to be made for our event, but everything has been approved for Wednesday."
Another lemonade stand will be held on the Plaza in front of the library Wednesday from 10 to 11 a.m. Since donations cannot be accepted at the stand, they can be made at the Flea Market on the second floor of the LSC.

No wonder bugs kill our candy butts now. (Continued…)
