Rescheduled from last month, LEMONADE DAY 2021 is coming to downtown Fairfield, Texas on Saturday, June 5th!
Help us celebrate our area youth by coming out to purchase some refreshing drinks and tasty snacks from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.
The foremost objective of Lemonade Day is to empower youth to take ownership of their lives and become productive members of society – the business leaders, social advocates, volunteers, and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow.
Each child that registers receives a backpack with an Entrepreneur Workbook that teaches them the lessons of Lemonade Day like creating budgets, setting profit-making goals, serving customers, repaying investors, and giving back to the community. Along the way, they acquire skills in goal-setting, problem solving, and gain self-esteem critical for future success.
They keep all the money they make and are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some.
Sponsor Partners for this year’s event include Community National Bank & Trust, CETA, Freestone Medical Center, Texas Farm Credit, Farmers State Bank, Incommons Bank, Wells Fargo Bank, Kindness From Case, Round Prairie Baptist Church, and Gina Martin / Fairfield ISD.
