Lemonade Day is about …


… introducing kids to entrepreneurship!
This metro Indianapolis event, scheduled for May 1, encourages youths of all ages to start a lemonade stand and sell their lemonade to the entire community. Schools, community groups and businesses have gotten involved to help make this happen.

Lemonade Day, held each year in cities across America, is a fun, entrepreneurial and experiential learning program that teaches youth not only how to start their own business, but fundamental lessons about life, success and themselves.

Find out more about Lemonade Day online or on Facebook.

How to participate? Register your child for Lemonade Day!

Children can register by completing a printed application available at your Zionsville Library or they can register online.

Each child that registers for Lemonade Day can visit the Library to pick up a bright, yellow backpack with an informational workbook for the child and another for a responsible adult. The workbooks outline the steps needed to start a business: setting a goal, creating a business plan, forming a budget and finding an investor. Information about saving money and donating a portion of their profits back to the community is also included.

Backpacks are ready and waiting for you at Hussey-Mayfield Memorial Public Library!
