Today’s entrepreneurs have much to be proud of, including the groups that have supported their growth from a young age. Many business owners were bitten by the entrepreneurial bug early in life. To nurture this spirit, Lemonade Day offers a free, fun, experiential program that teaches youth how to start, own, and operate their very own business—a lemonade stand. Each year, participating cities across the world empower today’s youth to be tomorrow’s entrepreneurs. The Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce presented the third annual Lemonade Day to the Rochester, Minnesota area, expanding this year to officially include Byron and Stewartville. This year, over 380 participants registered, including many new and returning families, as well as some youth groups for Lemonade Day in the Rochester area which took place on Saturday, June 8. “They learn how to develop a business and experience all the aspects of developing and maintaining a business such as creating a product, establishing a budget, designing a marketing plan, and so much more,” Ally Sheehan, Senior Director, Events & Programs at the Chamber, and Lemonade Day City Director said.
