The Williston Chamber of Commerce is hosting its 9th Annual Lemonade Day this Saturday! Lemonade Day is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching youth in grades K-8 important business, financial, character-building, and life skills that are the critical ingredients of entrepreneurship.
Running a lemonade stand is a fantastic way to learn about money management and business skills such as:
Capital Equipment
Consumables
Supply & Demand
Credit, Debt, Gross & Net Income
Marginal Utility
Return on Investment
Compound Interest
Lemonade Day is a fantastic way for our area youth to get creative: costumes, booth design, lemonade flavors - there are SO MANY flavors and options! From fresh squeezed with homemade simple syrup, classic Country Time Lemonade, pink lemonade, lime-ade, additional flavors, or even adding frozen fruit to add a bit of "zing," the possibilities are endless!
The kids will learn about pricing and how to profit while keeping it affordable. They will also practice marketing by creating eye-catching posters and signs to let people know where they are and receive mentoring from local entrepreneurs!
