Secondly: lemonade stands, hotdog carts, hamburger carts,... none of those would stay at any location for a long time if no one was buying their products. The fact that people were buying lemonade or the fact that people at other events were buying hotdogs and hamburgers proves that people valued the services (the sale of cold lemonade, hotdogs, hamburgers,...) that were being offered otherwise people wouldn't be willing to hand over their money in exchange for those products. It's a great thing, it's called the free market.
