More than forty new businesses, operated by eighty-six young entrepreneurs, will be opening shop in downtown Fairfield, Texas this Saturday.
It is the 2022 Lemonade Day Fairfield event!
Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand.
Each child registered for Lemonade Day 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.
These hard-working kids have been promoting their lemonade stands through newspaper advertising, local radio spots, and word-of-mouth.
Information about several of the lemonade locations — including products and pricing — may be found online at lemonadeday.org/fairfield (simply scroll down near the bottom for an interactive map).
Lemonade Day is a national program whose mission is to help today’s youth become the business leaders, social advocates, community volunteers and forward-thinking citizens of tomorrow…one lemonade stand at a time!
This event is made possible by the support of serveral local sponsors, including: K&G Metals, CETA, Freestone Medical Center, Premier Realty, Community National Bank & Trust, Incommons Bank, The Fairfield Recorder, Texas Farm Credit, Robert & Sandra McAdams, Creations Flowers & Gifts, Fairfield ISD, City of Fairfield, and Fairfield Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center.
