This Saturday is 'Lemonade Freedom Day'.... if you see any kids operating a lemonade stand, please stop and buy a cup from them (while carrying of course... to keep it somewhat on topic ).

SELLING LEMONADE IS NOT A CRIME
August 20, 2011 – Lemonade Freedom Day!
Recently, we have seen many news reports of lemonade stands being shut down by police and other government workers. When kids sell things, such as lemonade, they are learning some very important lessons. They are learning about money and about being an entrepreneur. They are also learning how to be a productive member of society. They are learning about responsibility. They are participating in free and voluntary trade with willing participants. Selling lemonade is not a crime.
On August 20, 2011, we are suggesting that everyone who has children, who believe in this message, go outside and set up lemonade stands all across the country. Even if you don’t have children, go out and buy some lemonade from a local child’s lemonade stand.
We need to stand up for our kids. We need to send a message to the world. Selling lemonade is not a crime!
