Cherokee hosts Lemonade Day on Aug. 6

For young entrepreneurs, Cherokee County is hosting a Lemonade Day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 6 at Cherokee Recreation & Parks, 7545 Main St., Woodstock.

Lemonade Day is an educational program that teaches children how to start, own and operate their own business - a lemonade stand.

Each year, in participating cities, children - rising third to fifth graders - have the opportunity to experience entrepreneurship by setting up their business during their city’s community Lemonade Day.

The local sponsor is the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce.
