Registration for the Third Annual Lemonade Day Coastal Alabama is now open to school children enrolled in kindergarten through fifth grade.
The nationwide education program based out of Houston, Texas, first came to the Coastal Alabama area back in 2018.
The 2021 event is scheduled to take place Saturday, May 15. Participants can attend various workshops on topics (such as recipe development and stand building) to help prepare them for the big day where they will be running their own stand at a designated location in the community.
"Not only are we actively engaging and educating our elementary students once again with a nationally proven entrepreneurial program, but through regional collaboration this experience has now been expanded to include children in Foley as well as Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. Across our tri-city region small-business owners, educators and retired professionals alike are working together to mentor our young people and help secure their bright future for years to come," said Greg Alexander, President and CEO of the Coastal Alabama Business Chamber, "The experience our children gain from participating in Lemonade Day will be a key foundation on which they will continue to grow.
