Students squeeze success from first Lemonade Day
The first annual Lemonade Day was a success for Montague County as seven local students made their business debut on May 21.
The event was initiated by the Nocona Economic Development Corporation as part of “Lemonade Day Houston,” a national foundation.
Students from the school districts of Nocona, Prairie Valley, Montague, Gold-Burg and Saint Jo in grades fifth through seventh were invited to participate. The students took courses in marketing, accounting and business planning to gain knowledge needed to run their own business: A lemonade stand.
James Yohe, executive direct or of the Nocona Economic Development Corporation said they about 43 students complete initial registration. Seventeen students began lessons on-line and seven students completed efforts to create their lemonade stand.
