Squeeze the Day with Lemonade Day Jefferson County

There’s still time to register for
Lemonade Day Jefferson County
on May 1st!

Have you seen all the buzz for Lemonade Day Jefferson County and been wondering what the heck that’s about?

I remember seeing our besties post about Lemonade Day for the first time three years ago, with no clue what was going on – only that they had won 1st Place in some kind of taste test, and that they were setting up some kind of socially distanced drive-thru lemonade stand.  It all seemed kind of secret and underground to me at the time (which, in retrospect, is how I imagine many of you often feel) but it sounded fun and we’re always down to support those besties of ours!  We loaded up and were their first customers of the day, sampling some of their delicious lemonade and other treats like brownies and stovetop popcorn- and my oldest decided then and there on the spot that HE wanted a lemonade stand too.  So when I started seeing Danielle share that another Lemonade Day was coming up – we were in!

I guess I just thought it would be simply setting up a lemonade stand and having some cute little retro storefront in a single afternoon – hoooo, boy, was I wrong.  Lemonade Day more than just a day – it’s a whole experience, with a workbook and multiple events throughout the season. All of the events are optional, but my kid does nothing by halves (wonder where he gets that), so of course we were all in for everything and it’s a LOT – but it also adds and creates a truly well-rounded, rewarding experience!

Lemonade Day is a national program that teaches youth about entrepreneurship through one of the ultimate childhood experiences – starting, owning, and operating a lemonade stand!  In addition to learning about entrepreneurship, participating youth also learn life skills such as responsibility, financial literacy, goal-setting, teamwork, and more.  It is completely FREE for kids to participate (minus the cost of purchasing their own supplies and materials)!

Participating youths and their adult mentors complete a workbook throughout the program that simplifies the many aspects of starting a business: from naming their businesses, to the concept of investors.  They’re taught to set a goal, to keep track of their expenses, to pay back their investors, and even that part of being a responsible business owner is giving back into your community, so they are encouraged to choose a charity to donate a portion of their earnings.

In addition to all the hands-on learning, there are also several events throughout the season to bring the little entrepreneurs together and celebrate the season!  Beaumont Children’s Museum hosts the Kick-Off Party, where the youths can come and pick up valuable tools and info (as well as swag) from the local businesses sponsoring Lemonade Day.  Most sponsors will also be looking for a stand to set up in front of their place of business, so this is a great networking event!   

Then there’s the Best of the Zest Pitch Contest, where stand owners come and creatively pitch their business plan to a panel of local business owners a la Shark Tank, and also a Best Tasting Contest where the mini-entrepreneurs can bring samples of their custom lemonade blends to vie for the title of Best Tasting Lemonade in Jefferson County (which – ahem – has gone to Danielle’s kids three years in a row!  You gotta try that strawberry lemonade!)

And then – it’s GO time!  Participating cities choose a community-wide Lemonade Day for their region when the involved kiddos will set up their businesses and get first-hand experience in entrepreneurship.  

This year, Lemonade Day Jefferson County is May 1!  

Entrepreneurs are encouraged to add their stands on the website, providing a community map of all the participating stands in the area.  (See below for the map and a list of stands!)

After Lemonade Day, participants will be asked to turn in all their numbers and then come together one last time at Urban Air Trampoline Park for an Awards Party, where the kids will be celebrated for their hard-work, creativity, and determination, plus free play and pizza!

They say kids learn best through play, and Lemonade Day is a prime example of how an idyllic childhood experience like a lemonade stand can set youth up with skills for life! It can be a lot and make life a little hectic for a few weeks, but the lessons learned and experiences are well worth the extra scheduling. In addition to free entry into kid favorites like the Beaumont Children’s Museum and Urban Air and free swag, goodies, tips, and prizes from sponsors, Lemonade Day unites the community around a common goal: helping our local youth succeed.
