Lemonade Day scheduled for this weekend

The goal is for the children to learn entrepreneurial basics

This Saturday, Soldotna is bringing back Lemonade Day, an annual event aimed at teaching kids the value of entrepreneurship.

For the 10th year, kids will have the opportunity to set up lemonade stands and sell their product in front of local Soldotna and Kenai businesses.

The goal is for the children to learn entrepreneurial basics, which include becoming business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers and forward-thinking citizens.

To register a Lemonade Day stand for July 16, call Sara with the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce at 907-262-9814 or Michelle with the Kenai Chamber of Commerce at 907-282-1991.

For local businesses looking to host a Lemonade Day stand, email Sara with the Soldotna Chamber of Commerce at sara@soldotnachamber.com.
