    You will need to call your County Department of Health and ask them. The laws are different in different states and within counties in each state. Better to ask the experts that to ask a bunch of yahoos on yahoo.

    try a lemonaide stand or something else. not sure about a hotdog stand. have car washes, sell candy and all that.

    I believe so, yes. When I worked for the ARC we were running a hot dog stand and the health inspector had to come and check it out. This is for NYS, so it may be different in your state. I’d call your local city hall and check just to be safe.

    it all depends were you live.

    yes if serving to the public you need to get the certification, go to town hall.

    It depends on your local rules. Call your local health department. They should be listed under county offices.
    I’m in Oregon and here they would require that the kids all have a “food handlers permit”. It’s a test given to establish that the person knows basic hygiene and food safety. It’s required to work at a fast food place or to waitress, etc. It costs about $15 for the permit. That’s in Lane County, Oregon. I don’t know that it’s the same in the next county. It varies so much by local, the only way to know is to check your local regulations.
    Good luck. I hope the kids make the trip.

    I would call the city that you live in and ask about the requirements you will need to run a hot dog stand

    You plan on making $43,000 selling Hot Dogs! At what like 1.00 or $1.50 a Hot Dog (that’s still 28,667 Hot Dogs). Yes you’ll probably need a health inspection, just call and find out.
