Without knowing exactly which municipality you are in, I don't have a specific answer for you. It is possible your display violated some sort of local zoning regulation (such as a regulation against signs of a certain size, color, etc.), or it is possible that they require a permit for certain sales outside of a retail establishment. Check the local ordinances of your municipality/city/township/county to see, or contact a lawyer in your area who is familiar with the local laws of your locality.
