Lemonade Day 2019 has finally arrived.

The community is invited to come out and support our young entrepreneurs on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. in Fairfield, Texas.

Featuring a variety of flavors and tasty snacks, lemonade stands manned by Fairfield Intermediate students will be located on the courthouse square, as well as selected locations around town.

Lemonade Day is a free, fun, experiential learning program that teaches youth how to start, own and operate their own business – a lemonade stand. They keep all the money they make and are encouraged to spend some, save some and share some.

More than sixty-nine students have signed up for the program this year.

Some have teamed up in pairs to operate their lemonade stand. Others have gone into business by themselves.

According to Chamber Executive Director Brenda Pate, students may still register for the program, up until the day of the event. Just go online to LemonadeDay.org/Fairfield
