Lemonade day is this Saturday, June 13!
I am looking forward to being a judge alongside Jane Wierzba - ReMax Real Estate Central Alberta and checking out all the work that these young entrepreneurs have put into their stands!

Check out the lemonade stands by checking out the map from the link:

So far, there is:
B.E Fresh (by The Crow)
RCLemonade (by pet value)
Vintage Charm (Riverside rotary park at the PARCS event)

Lemonade Day is a free program that turns youth into young entrepreneurs, teaching them to create and manage their own business - a Lemonade Stand. Join the Fun! Registration Opens March 1st!
