Lemonade Day was celebrated June 14 in Peace River. The town was dotted with lemonade stands operated by children. Lemonade Day is a fun program that teaches children how to start, own and operate their own business – in this case, a lemonade stand! Participating children attend Lemonade University (take a course) to learn how to set up a business. They have to design a stand, apply for a business license, go to a business and ask for permission to set up on location, and give a community donation. Peace River had about a dozen stands around town and no thirsty residents! Photos courtesy of Photos by Lori of Peace River.
