I agree that setting up outside an event like that, an extensively sponsored event (of course try to find one these days that isn't) is taking advantage - at the same time I do get stopped all the time by kids selling chocolate bars, etc in front of the home depot or any other large stores/malls...and at a mall, stores pay rent to sell their products there...not unlike what say a sponsor would pay at an event like the US open...

it all seems like shades of grey, someone being a real hard-ass, flexing whatever little bit of authority they have..I do know that as a parent if an organizer at an event like that asked us to stop, I would - question is, what lesson has this taught the kids involved?
