We have our lemonade stand decorated and our location secured. We will be selling our lemonade in front of the local Walgreen's tomorrow from 1-5 pm. I was amazed at how difficult it was to find a retailer to let us set up our stand. We asked a number of other stores before we tryed Walgreen's who was more than happy to have us. How sad is it when businesses won't even allow children to sell a few cans of lemonade to benefit charity? Here I am trying to teach my children to help others and no one would have us. Kmart refused us because they sell canned drinks and do not allow anyone to sell anything that they sell. It might hurt their bottom line. Oh Yea, I am sure there a just hundreds of people out there who would come to Kmart to buy canned drinks, see us out front and decide to buy a case of lemonade from us a $1.00 per can vs. buying the case of soda they had planned on buying. Whatever! HUGE KUDOS to Walgreens for being so enthusiastic with their response to us. We will be braving 120 degree heat to sell our lemonade tomorrow. Hopefully people will be very thirsty and I pray that we do not end up with heat stroke! Here is a picture of our decorated stand. We will be raising money for the Humane Society. Wish us luck!
