No person shall sell, vend or peddle any novelty, such as a souvenir, balloon, trinket or other small nonedible item, at any special event open to the general public, such as a parade, rodeo, sports event or holiday celebration gathering, without first obtaining a permit therefor from the collector. Such permits shall be issued only to locally based organizations which the collector finds to qualify as charitable activities under the criteria set forth in Section 3.48.050 and which will contribute the total net proceeds of such novelty sales to local philanthropic, charitable or educational purposes. No fee shall be charged for any such permit.
