Someone Called 911 On A Gig Harbor Lemonade Stand
Pierce County deputies responded to the scene, and it looks like the kids earned a little money off them.
GIG HARBOR, WA — Maybe it was a rival lemonade stand?
Someone in Gig Harbor called 911 on Aug. 1 to report an apparently unsupervised lemonade stand in the Peacock Hill area. Pierce County deputies responded, but they didn't make any arrests — they did end up sampling the product, however.
"If you saw a large amount of our deputies in the area of Peacock Hill in Gig Harbor this afternoon, please know that all is great in your neighborhood," the sheriff's office wrote in a Facebook post on Thursday. "If you were the person who called 911 to report unsupervised children selling drinks at a lemonade stand, please know that they are great kids and their mom was with them."
