Ever wondered why you see so many lemonade stands about town around the beginning of May? The answer is Lemonade Day!

This is a fun, free, community-wide educational program that encourages kids of all ages to become entrepreneurs by launching their own lemonade stands! Finding the best location for a booth, pricing the product, and dealing with customers can help young entrepreneurs get an idea of what it actually takes to run a small business.
Signing up your kids is easy! Just look for a designated registration venue, pick up your backpack and workbook, and you and your children are on your way to a tasty business endeavor.
Lemonade Day empowers youth by providing a fun, hands-on way to learn real-life business skills, such as setting goals, securing investors, utilizing a budget, and marketing a product. As an added bonus in the end, the child gets to earn and keep all the money he or she makes. They are also encouraged to pay back investors and potentially give back to the community.

Once you’ve registered, mark your calendars! May 3 is our official BCS Lemonade Day. If you don’t have kids, feel free to drive around town and help our budding entrepreneurs!
