The Lemonade Stand!

From JJ: I had a lemonade stand at the library last night. My favorite part was standing outside with signs. We made a lot of money to buy true ('non fiction) books for the library. Lemonade stands are really a lot of fun.


From Billy: Last night we had our famous BBC Lemonade Stand! We ended up being on tv and in the newspaper. I think we made $312.42 for the library (once mom mom sends her donation). The lemonade was a hit - we had over 200 customers, at least! We even had 3 moms ask if their kids could be in the BBC but we are probably just going to tell them how to do one because our BBC is perfect just as it is! My favorite part was doing the advertising outside. We got some customers to come in just because we were outside with signs. (We did a little false advertising too - we said our lemonade was voted the best in H-burg...and nobody really voted on that!) We think the biggest donation ended up being $25...even though we all though all night that someone put a $50 bill inside. Even without that $50, we ended up with way more money than anyone thought we would make....and now we will all get to pick out a book to donate to the library with our name on a bookplate inside the book! Another really cool thing was that Mrs. C came to our lemonade stand and brought a bunch of her family. That was really nice because she does not even live in town. But, a lot of her kids from last year are in the BBC so she really wanted to support us. I already miss her and have not even started 3rd grade yet.
