As I to read this I could feel the indignation and anger building inside of me. How dare government official abuse citizens this way!

Then I started looking for the authors name. This has been omitted. So, I looked for the date of the alleged agency abuses. This too has been omitted. This is starting to smell like an emotion filled marketing scheme. No thanks

Sounds like a commercial event organized with paying customers, not a private event with "guests" invited at no personal expense outside of personal travel to the location. The manner in which the food was destroyed by the busybody bureaucrat was inexcusable. The bureaucrats should bear the full financial burden for compensating the operator for the food destroyed. Criminal penalties proportional to the damaged property should also be assessed. If it was truly a private event, the operator should have never applied for the permit and should have required a written invitation be presented to private security to enter the property.

Here’s the Las Vegas Sun story on the incident. The event was back in November 2011. The place was Quail Hollow Farm, and the owners are named Bledsoe.

There are other sources covering the same event ...

Unaware of their rights, the Bledsoes initially complied with Oaks' unlawful demands and destroyed the food. But shortly thereafter, Laura's husband Monte remembered that they had an emergency contact number for the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) on their refrigerator.

Shocked that they even had to resort to this desperate measure, the Bledsoes called FTCLDF for advice and spoke with General Counsel Gary Cox, who instructed them to ask Oaks for a search and arrest warrant, which of course she did not have. The Bledsoes then asked Oaks to leave the property, upon which she allegedly stormed off in anger and screamed that she was going to call the police.

Police eventually arrived, but unaware of why they had been called and what the alleged crime was, they, too, left and offered their apologies to the Bledsoes. Fortunately, the Bledsoes were able to improvise with the chef to create a whole new meal for their guests, which ended up turning out to be a type of blessing in disguise, according to Laura.

Sounds like the dumb kid selling rabbits story. Hay people if you sell processed food, you are a restaurant, you need a license and inspection, not hard for most people to understand.

The place checks out--it has a web site and is apparently located near Logandale, Nevada. However, no such event appears on the site's calendar over the past few months, so it must not have been recent. I noticed that the site emphasizes that future events of this sort are private.

If I were the owner, I would find a good junkyard-dog tort lawyer--there should be plenty of them in Las Vegas--and go after those busybody munchkins.

I stopped reading when I got to the part where the guests who were invited to this private party that should never have been subject to the same rules and regulations as a commercial enterprise, had paid in advance.
