Lemonade Day

Children all over Tuscaloosa will take part in Lemonade Day on Saturday and open up lemonade stands.

Tuscaloosa will celebrate its first Lemonade Day on Saturday as kids from all around the city will learn about entrepreneurship and open up lemonade stands to earn money.

Tuscaloosa's first-ever Lemonade Day is just two weeks away, and what better way to get ready for this fun event than with some ice cold lemonade?

Lemonade Day is designed to take kids from a dream to a business plan while teaching them the same principles required to start a big company.

To help encourage children to learn about entrepreneurship in Tuscaloosa, Mayor Walt Maddox presented a proclamation declaring June 18 Lemonade Day in the city. The national event is a one-day opportunity for children to open a lemonade stand with the support of local businesses, and it's free to all kids 12 years of age or younger...

First, I'll tell you what Lemonade Day is. LemonadeDay.org describes it:  " In 2007, founder Michael Holthouse had a vision to empower today’s youth to become tomorrow’s entrepreneurs through helping them start, own and operate their very own business…a lemonade stand."
