HOA in Colorado calls cops on kid’s lemonade stand

Some jobs attract a special breed of Karen. One such job seems to be being a member of an HOA.

In Summit County, Colorado, members of the Wildernest Home Owners Association called the local sheriff to report children “running an illegal lemonade stand” in the neighborhood. When deputies arrived, they asked the kids to move back a bit from the roadway but didn’t find “any issue” with where the lemonade stand was located.

But…the drama wasn’t over. Those who reported the “crime” then started yelling at the kids, according to deputies, claiming they were “on private property.” Again, deputies found no legal issues with what the kids were doing because it was “shared HOA property and because the children’s’ parents are part of the HOA they had a right to be there.”

Haven’t we been down this road before? Leave kids who want to sell lemonade alone, already!!
