Do you remember\u00a0your first lemonade stand?\u00a0Was your\u00a0lemonade made from real lemons or did your drink start as a powder? Did you sell Rice Krispies or brownies to boost sales? Were you saving the\u00a0money you earned for something big? What was the\u00a0name of the one generous\u00a0neighbor who you could\u00a0always<\/em>\u00a0count on to buy from you no matter what you were selling?<\/p>\n

A child at his\/her\u00a0lemonade stand is a classic illustration of the American entrepreneurial, can-do spirit. It’s\u00a0often a child’s first chance\u00a0to experience\u00a0the basics of business. Concepts\u00a0like “marketing,” “profit,” and “product” become more than theories and vocab terms; they’re understandable ideas\u00a0that have real-life meaning to a child. And for many kids, a\u00a0lemonade stand gives them the confidence they need to launch many more entrepreneurial experiments.<\/p>\n

This year Haute Happenings is excited to partner with an awesome local organization that’s dedicated to teaching kids about business–Lemonade Day.* \u00a0The Terre Haute Lemonade Day team works year round to teach kids financial literacy, but the team’s main event is one day each summer that is dedicated to getting kids outside and manning their own lemonade stands.<\/p>\n

\"Lemonade<\/p>\n

This year’s goal is to have 500 (FIVE HUNDRED!) kids (k-12) signed up to participate in Terre Haute\u00a0Lemonade Day!<\/p>\n

We can do that. 500 is a doable\u00a0goal for a city as big as Terre Haute. Last year they had 400 participants. Let’s get to 500 this year.<\/p>\n

This year, the coordinators have planned a special event to help get kids and families excited about Lemonade Day.<\/p>\n

Kick-Off Event<\/h2>\n

Sunday May 17 from\u00a01 p.m. to 3:30 p.m at the Terre Haute Children’s Museum<\/h3>\n

At the kick-off event, children can register for Lemonade Day, get their FREE backpacks (with workbooks that teach them about being an entrepreneur), enjoy\u00a0refreshments, and play at the museum.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The kick-off event (and\u00a0participation in\u00a0Lemonade Day) is completely free! <\/strong><\/p>\n

If your kids would\u00a0like to hang around the museum and play after the event, that’s free too. (Parents will need to pay the reduced admission price of $5).<\/p>\n

If you can’t make it to the kick-off, you can also register online\u00a0by June 15, 2015.<\/p>\n

The kick-off event is more than just a fun party. It’s a chance to get your family excited about business and financial literacy. The Lemonade Day reps will be there to answer your questions and get your kids pumped about their lemonade stands!<\/p>\n

\"Terre<\/p>\n

I’m all for supporting hands-on learning experiences and supporting Terre Haute’s\u00a0littlest entrepreneurs. \u00a0Parents and caregivers can support their\u00a0budding businessmen\/women by bringing them to this year’s kick-off event.<\/p>\n
