Lemonade Day is a FREE community event, focused on teaching kids how to start and run their own business. Kids follow a 14-step process that includes budgeting, marketing, construction, research, developing a recipe, and tabulating business results.
When 9-year-old leukemia survivor Ashlinn Swanson told her parents that she wanted to create a stand for Casper's Lemonade Day, she also told them that she wanted to donate half of her earnings to the organization that helped their family during the worst time in their lives, the Jason's Friends Foundation.
In the end, It was Stand #14, from creator Airean Strong, that won the contest. His patriotic-themed stand embodied everything Lemonade Day stands for.
On Wednesday, Hilltop National Bank hosted the Lemonade Day Kickoff and it was certainly a sign of things to come, as more than 300 kiddos turned out to register, to pick up their instructions and, of course, to meet Lemmy the Lemon.
It was Lemonade Day in Casper and, as always, the community did not disappoint. Dozens and dozens of children began their careers in entrepreneurship on this day, and the results were inspiring.
The 2021 annual Lemonade Day event is coming up on July 10th, but before Casper's kids all around town start selling their wares, there will be the Best Stand Contest.
