Having said that I find it really strange that two boys need a licence to operate a lemonade stand. Is it really a 'business'?

I did a google search for local MA articles on this story. I also searched for who would need a vendor's license and apparently anyone "peddling" or selling anything needs one. There is also an entertainment license - I don't know how many are in Salem, but here in Chicago there are an awful lot of homeless street performers (mimes & musicians) that would need an entertainment license under these laws.
